Minipac wake from standby

[newmanfamilyvlogs]

I keep my cab in standby mode most of the time. At the moment I tap the atx power switch to rouse it from sleep. The BIOS supports waking from USB as a mouse double click, but the mouse click buttons on my minipac do not wake it. The green LED stays on in standby, so I assume it's getting power.

Is this a question of how the minipac identifies itself to the system? HID headers and the like?

Do you have another mouse on the system?

My primary mouse can wake my computer from standby, but my secondary one (a trackball that is still in the test phase setup) doesn't.

So I assume only one mouse can wake up the puter...


another idea: can you set BIOS to wake with keyboard events?

It will also wake from a keyboard sequence. I've brought it back to work with me this afternoon to see about setting the bios to boot from a '1' keypress (ie: P1 Start) and see what happens when I hook it back up to the minipac.

Also: the minipac is the only 'mouse' connected when in my cabinet.

Set bios to wake from USB keyboard press of '1' and minipac will not cause system to wake.

Has anyone successfully done this? I'm not sure if this is a minipac or a bios issue.

I think it has to do with the HID interface of the iPac; maybe the BIOS doesn't even recognize the keypresses on HID devices or something. Have you tried emailing ultimarc?

Probably will if andy doesn't comment here in the next day or so. And yeah I assumed it was a hid id issue.
