And there may be jumpers on the motherboard to set which devices are still powered up in standby mode. If the keyboard's plugged into a port that's totally shut down, in standby mode, the keyboard is not going to be able to be used to wake the computer back up again. I doubt any non-desktop computer would have jumpers for that, but may have the same limitation: That something might be completely powered off, and the keyboard circuitry might be considered too much of a power drain to be left running, opting for the simplicity of whatever monitors just the power button. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
