Wake on by USB devices on Linux mint 17
I am back after a looooooong time... after my firm started supporting RDP from Linux again. I tried Linux mint 17 on my old laptop and attached external Samsung monitor to it. I stopped using monitor of laptop completely. So wanted laptop to go to sleep and wake up without actual power buttons on it.
I realized that Linux mint doesn't support wake on USB mouse / keyboard out of the box. so I created following file and it started supporting wake on USB devices again.
PS: When I rebooted machine, for some reason, my idProduct was changed. So if these don't work after reboot, make sure numbers are correct using "lsusb" again.
