Title: Minipac wake from standby
Post by: newmanfamilyvlogs on December 31, 2010, 08:54:49 am: 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?

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?

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

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