If I understand correctly, it will wake up each time when mouse moves, check if
the reason of waking up is the mouse and sleep again if the lid is still
closed, am I right? So basically if I carry my laptop and a mouse in a bag with
a lot of other things and something is constantly pressing mouse buttons, the
laptop will repeatedly wake up and sleep?
Also suspending is still a pretty hard thing to do on modern laptops with
nvidia graphics cards, mine usually takes about 10-15 seconds before its fully
suspended and sometimes it won't even suspend at all so the fact of sleeping
must be verified manually.
Like mentioned earlier, linux kernel has its own way to enable\disable waking
on certain usb devices, so plasma's input devices manager could monitor if a
new mouse is connected and then powerdevil could request the kernel to disable
this mouse when suspended. Maybe even some cute little settings window with all
of the usb mouses\keyboards listed and checkboxes for whether it should be able
to wake the laptop up.
Sorry if I misunderstand something, I'm not a developer, I'm just an armchair
critic you know. I just would like to know if I'm wrong and this merge request
is actually a good thing even for nvidia users.
