It doesn't work for me from Hibernate on my ACPI system though and I
understand the use of the ST check box. It does work from Stand By.
Vista however, behaves differently that XP and there are a lot more
conditions/variables. The documentation specifically says it will
wake it from Hibernation but I think if is probably tied into the
hardware in some unspecified manner - it will come out of Hibernation
if all these stars are in alignment.
I see the Gigabyte MB can be configured to power up from the mouse,
but that has nothing to do with "coming out of hibernation" as we may
hear. It is powering up at a specific time or mouse click, not from a
ST.
The machine merely powers up and the XP decides what to do. It is an
interesting feature though - it would keep be from bending over to
turn on my machine.
