I have two identical hardware setups (based on Acer Aspire Revo 3610's)- same bios version/settings, same MCE remote & dongle/mouse/keyboard all plugged into same ports, same everything.
One has XBMC Live 10.0 rc2 installed and the other has XBMC Live 11.0 installed.
Both XBMC installs have the system settings power option to go into suspend (as opposed to hibernate or power off). The problem is that when the 11.0 system suspends it appears power to the USB ports is cut off since they keyboard/mouse/MCE remote will not wake the machine. Indeed the red blinky light on the IR dongle for the MCE remote won't flash in this state. However the 10.0 rc2 install will suspend and then wake fine from any of the USB devices. Initially I suspected this was bios related, but I confirmed that wake on USB is enabled identically on both machines. I even tried installing XBMC Live 10.0 rc2 onto the machine that was failing to wake-up from USB and then it was able suspend/wake-up from USB without a problem. So in my estimation this means software is the culprit. I couldn't find any other setting via the XBMC GUI in 11.0 that might help. Is there something I can look into at the OS level that could be related to the power state the hardware is being put into when the machine suspends?
This is driving my nuts... My only solution now would be to run 10.0 rc2 on both of these machines...
Thanks for any ideas.
