    USB - Power on machine

    Hi, I'm having ABIT Quad GT MB and I was wondering what are usb pwr jumpers used for. I set them to enable, and I still can not start up my PC with a Keyboard key Power, allthought it works when I need to shut it down. I can clearly see, that USB has power and if I press power button on my keyboard, receiver flashes. Is it posible to start a PC via USB wireless keyboard? Thanks!

    the USB power jumpers are usually used to disable power to the USB ports when in "soft off" for people that dislike having lights on kb, mice etc. remain on.
    wake up by keyboard only seems to work properly via PS/2.
