PS/2 should just workâ˘. It plugs straight into the MoBo chipset IRQs (via LAPIC these days) and does not rely on userspace applications. > Lots of people seem to have problems with suspend/restart > & it seems to be somewhat random & vary with different makes of mobo, > so any further suggestions here may help others in future too. Yes, I've had my fair share depending on MoBos, especially older builds. I even had laptops with dodgy suspend to RAM performance: it wouldn't suspend at all, or it would and then not wake up properly (screen wouldn't come on again). In my experience suspend to RAM could break from one kernel to another on buggy MoBos, or between different video card kernel drivers (for radeon at least). Note: some modern MoBos have S4 disabled at the BIOS by default, to make sure that USB ports continue to charge mobile phones and tablets. -- Regards, Mick
