    What kind of external mouse do you have? I would think it works by default, but there may be a setting in the device properties which will say something like "allow this device to bring the system out of standby."

    You have to enable the USB to wake up using external devices in the bios setup. It is towards the bottom of the list in the setup, I don't remember what tab it is under.
