there is a jumper near the power-plug.
(just like any other jumper on a hardrive).
after setting it, my usb-mouse keeps up glowing, while the system is off.
so there is usb-power ON, while the system is OFF.
many users mentioned it as a "no-go". the first revision didn't have a usb-power feature.
but, after testing for some hours, i can't wake the system.
i don't mean waking from hybernate or something.
totally off. the only way to wake it up, is to push the button.
so i don't know a way to power-on this board with an ir-remote.
ps/2 and usb didn't work.
another thought:
the power-adapter itself consumes 17-18 watts.
even when it is not plugged into the mainboard.
so, why do i build a power-saving xbox-alternative-system when it consumes so much power when it is off?
damn. no good day for my ego
