Hello all,
I wonder if anybody here is using IR receiver that is connected to the PC with 9-pin serial cable and is able to wake the machine from suspend mode?
I use a IR-receiver which also connects to the power button header on the mainboard. It requires +5VSB (I took it from an USB header, since that was the only option available on my MB)
Note that not all motherboards have +5VSB high in S5 (power off) in USB headers - some have it configurable, some don't. On my motherboard it is not configurable, but luckily it seems that all (or at least the one where I connected the +5VSB line) have it always high (I'd believe this is the case with most modern motherboards). This might matter if your motherboard doesn't have any headers having +5V in S5... but then of course you can always connect straight to the power supply, as in the instructions for the receiver I mentioned in my previous post =). BTW there's also an english manual on the site.
