I have a desktop computer with PS/2 (!) keyboard and mouse, running Fedora 16, just recently installed. It goes to sleep OK, but moving the mouse wakes it up. I'd like moving the mouse not to wake it up--typing on the keyboard would be fine.
I found an article online ( http://blob.inf.ed.ac.uk/chris/2011/03/04/linux-sleep-how-to-wake-with-a-key-press-or-mouse-click/ ) that told me to look in /proc/acpi/wakeup, so I did:
Device S-state Status Sysfs node
PS2K S3 *enabled pnp:00:03
PS2M S3 *disabled pnp:00:04
BR20 S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:1e.0
EUSB S3 *enabled pci:0000:00:1d.0
USBE S3 *enabled pci:0000:00:1a.0
PEX0 S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:1c.0
PEX1 S4 *disabled
PEX2 S4 *disabled
PEX3 S4 *disabled
PEX4 S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:1c.4
PEX5 S4 *disabled
PEX6 S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:1c.6
PEX7 S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:1c.7
GBE S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:19.0
P0P1 S4 *disabled
P0P2 S4 *disabled
P0P3 S4 *disabled
P0P4 S4 *disabled
GBE1 S4 *disabled
PWRB S3 *enabled
To me, it looks like the mouse (PS2M I assume) should not wake up the computer. Yet it does.

I'm quite sure my BIOS has no such option, unless it's called something non-obvious. It's a stock HP desktop, so the BIOS is not exactly a tweaker's paradise. – John Zwinck – 2012-02-07T10:50:14.640
@JohnZwinck Well ok, if it is a OEM machine, your possibilities might indeed be limited, however strange names are not uncommen and it is actually a pretty standard BIOS option. I think a second look would be worth a try. – inf – 2012-02-07T10:53:05.380
I've accepted your answer not because it worked for me, but because it's the only one I got and seems like it might work for some people. For me, I just stopped using sleep, and let the thing waste power. Oh well. – John Zwinck – 2012-09-20T07:49:01.793
