More waking questions

[d_b]

OK. If your MB supports waking on any key. What happens if you install a wireless keyboard and mouse ? Can no longer work correct ? Or can it ?

 

[SPeedY_B]

It should still work, as the Keyboard is still sending a signal.

Then the PC isn't listening as it needs power heh, good question, curious to the answer now

nope...I got a wireless KB and it seems that with no juice to the reciver it is a no go.

yup me too, i used to use wake on keypress for years and when i got my wireless set it stoped working, took ages to get used to pressing the power button! lol

Thanks. I purchased wireless at the same time I updated bios, and swore it was the bios. Don't matter how many times I change and set settings it just didn't work, now I can rest easy. However it's going to be hard to get use to pushing the butttttttton.

What kind of connection does the abse have? PS/2, USB?

 

[d_b]

Usb, however I wonder did it have a ps/2 hookup ? I see were your going.

there's a known issue here - USB needing power to run etc and in fact my M$ multimedia k/b and mouse (optical/wireless) aims to address the issue because the box has BOTH a USB and a PS2 plug on the end. This works fine on so far as getting into BIOS (I have used another wireless k/b where it would not detect DEL and I had to plug in a PS2 k/b for any BIOS ops!) but it is still not apparently good enough to wake up the machine - least not when I set my BIOS options.... Then again I have heard mentin of BIOS options to wake on USB - no idea beyond that... no first hand experience that is.

Is there wake on mouse movement ? If so couldn't I plug in a ps/2 mouse hide it in the drawer and up from there ?

 

[Khayman]

I believe there is a wake on mouse button, don't know about movement, not heard of it myself

 

[Tittles]

if u were to do that...would it just be easier to press the power button?

 

[d_b]

Actually yes but no. I have the case custom built into desk. however I have moved it out due to this issue.

My asus board has wake on mouse button, I do believe... Mine is an A7N8X-Deluxe... I would assume most other recent boards would have the same feature.
