  There are a couple of ways:

  1. Formally add a system entry to run at suspend/resume (like how nvidia does in their driver package)

  Or

  2. Write a script that rmmods, suspends, sleeps, modprobes, and map it to Cntrl-Alt-Shift-S

  I usually do 2 because I like the hotkey method for desktops, and it keeps things the same for both. Also allows me to close a lid on a laptop and leave it on. But 1 is more “formal”.

  Happy to share some scripts if you’d like, on my phone now, though.

    how do i do 1? having timeout to suspend and lid close to suspend would be great. and id like to see some example scripts!

    i had pretty much given up on standby with this one.

      Will grab some when I back, but assuming you are using systemd, it’s easy if you follow this old but good method: blog.christophersmart.com/…/running-scripts-befor…

      If that doesn’t work out of the box, it’s likely because you’re hitting S1 instead of S3, but give that test script a shot and let me know how it goes!

        what kind of driver could the keyboard be using? lsmod shows nothing beyond the HID driver, but thats baing used by the external mouse which works normally after sleep.

        lshw shows it going by /dev/input/event6 or something like it?
