    I know there are wake issues with 3d, but I have the 2D model.

    Till now, I have pushed the power button to wake from sleep. Decided I'd like to be able to wake it with the mouse and keyboard. I got the mouse working by enabling "USB Wake support" in BIOS, but I can't figure how to get the keyboard to wake it.

    Most of the google hits say to go into the keyboard's Power Managment tab in Device Manager and check "Allow this device to wake the computer.", but there is no such tab. That tab is present on my desktop machines that use USB keyboards, however these have a driver for they keyboard, e.g. Logitevh.

    From what I can tell from lots of searching, there's no keyboard driver for the L702x that would include Power Management, so how does one configure the keyboard to wake the laptop?

    Since I posted this, I checked a Win 7 desktop that has PS2 keyboard, which appears in Device Manager exactly like the L702x keyboard, similar to "Standard PS/2 keyboard."

    The desktop wakes when you press a key on the keyboard, so there must be a setting in Windows that controls it.

    Has anyone with an XPS-nn been able to get theirs to wake from a keyboard press?
