At least that's the way it looks here. With the APM Configuration BIOS option "Power on PS/2 mouse" enabled, the PS/2 mouse is only able to wake the system from Windows standby if the "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" is **unchecked**. If this box is checked the mouse cannot wake the system and thus the behavior is the total opposite of what MS intended. But it doesn't end there.....With the APM Configuration BIOS option "Power on PS/2 mouse" disabled, the PS/2 mouse is able to wake the system from Windows standby if the "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" is checked or unchecked and provided it is also checked for the keyboard. Also, if for the keyboard the "Allow this device...." is unchecked but it is checked for the Mouse then the keyboard is still able to wake the system from Windows standby. LOL! This is a total screw-up, what we have is a convolution of BIOS, keyboard and mouse settings, for crying out loud, this is BIOS 1014, something like this should have been noticed already and addressed in BIOS 1003 or the equivalent. Can someone else confirm this on their system as well before I go to Asus again?
