[CS-FSLUG] Mouse Jiggler???

[Josiah Ritchie]

Usually you can turn off the power saving things in the BIOS. In linux,
apmd, uswsusp and acpid are some of the programs that handles this, you
might be able to configure them to your needs. You may not need all of them.

You could rebuild your own kernel and leave out the parts that enable this.

This document tells you how to make it work. You could probably reverse it.
