Bryce, it seems that the trouble still exists. I use Ubuntu 14.04 x64 version. PowerTop indicates that while I wave with the cursor using a trackpoint, the wakeups caused by PS/2 Touchpad / Keyboard / Mouse is about 30% of all wakeups.
The kernel settings for psmuose: options psmouse rate=50 decreased wakeups percentage share to mentioned above 30%. For rate=100 the wakeups share was more than 40%. I really don't know why there are so many wakeups generated by the mouse driver. The good news is: when you don't use mouse then the wakeups share is lower than 1%. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194489 Title: ps2 synaptics touchpad causing huge amounts of wakeups Status in The Linux Kernel: Won't Fix Status in XOrg-Driver-Synaptics - synaptics driver for XOrg: Won't Fix Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in Fedora: Invalid Bug description: powertop reports a huge amoun of wakeups from the touchpad. Notice that this is independent of the synaptics driver being loaded or not. I get the exact same results with an out of the box xorg.conf where the touchpad is recognized as a plain mouse.
