We are looking from something else: some way to forcefully put a device to "sleep" even thogh it's open (used), because we don't want to receive input from it but want to save power instead. -- Regards, Feri. _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
