    Hi all,

    I have a question with my T61. While a USB mouse is plugged in and I shut the lid allowing the T61 to sleep, I have problems.

    If I move the mouse, the T61 awakes and doesnt go back to sleep.

    Is there any way to disable USB wakeup, or is there any way to configure the T61 to sleep correctly after being woken up.

    Keep in mind the T61's screen is shut the entire time.

    thanks,

    Jeff

    *Bump*.

    I've seen something like this too - I don't know if it's the mouse or what, but I have seen my T61 wake up from suspend while the lid is still closed! Anyone else?

    Now my laptop is waking even without USB wakeup. I closed the lid, made sure the laptop was asleep, then put it in my bag.

    I came back this afternoon to find that the laptop woke up in my bag, and almost melted some of the padding inside of the bag!

    What should I do?
