I'm using my Linux machine as kind of a games console: it's on my living room, connected to my TV, and I play from the couch.
Sadly, whenever it suspends, I need to get up and press the power button in order to wake it. Is it possible to make the Bluetooth gamepad wake it instead?
e.g. use lsusb to identify usb device (e.g. bluetooth receiver) and then edit e.g. /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb7/power/wakeup (replacing "usb7" with the number from lsusb, less any leading zeroes -> e.g. Bus 007 > usb7), changing the word disabled to enabled and saving the file.
If your bluetooth receiver is integrated on mobo or via PCI etc rather than via USB dongle, some adjustments might be needed to get there.
You can try to set antimicrox (emulates keyboard keys on your controller, and that's the name of the package) to use an unused key from your controller as some key that doesn't affect your usage.
Alternatively, you can try to disable all power manager options for turning off the screen. Do mind, however, that at least on Xfce, if you just toggle settings off, the screen will keep turning off, so you need to put all sliders to 0 or the minimum possible before disabling the option.
