Not sure if this is appropriate but I'll mention that I have dual-boot and with Windows XP SP 3 hibernation works all ok.

Correct, I tested suspend after removing the offending module and plugging the mouse does not wake the machine anymore! One thing is still different when comparing to Win XP (if I may): hitting mouse buttons will activate the internal led while in suspend even after removing the module but nothing done with the mouse wakes the machine.

That would be awesome. I'm able to test any patches you might cook up.

Thanks!
