Well I'm afraid this did not fix my usb keyboard not being detected @ startup, every other restart. =(
If I disable usb kb support in BIOS it won't work in Chameleon selection screen right? haha so no point in trying that =/

My issue with sleep on idle was this:
I had the DVD burner causing sleep on idle to fail, as detailed here:http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...&#entry1238915 (The last point is mine, which gives more detail)
Before it was a usb drive that was causing it, but I did a fresh reinstall, and I have yet to plug in any DVD drive to the system (install from HDD to HDD), and it fails to go to sleep when it is scheduled to. I believe I hear the drive make a noise at that time, so I think the system does try, but something isn't letting it.

and another issue: The screensaver doesn't come up =P No matter what I set the different time intervals to, screensaver, power off display, sleep computer, etc. I use this to work around the init issue my graphics card has. To go into specifics: This only happens when the display is powered off, and I'm still @ the computer, so I immediately move the mouse to bring the screen back on. Again, this only happens when I do it quickly, the monitor doesn't even finish going into standy, before I move the mouse. It is only in this condition, that once the screen comes back on, I get this crazy, pure static like image. It eventually initializes properly and I see my desktop again after a few seconds. Sometimes several. This card has always done that with me. Whether I enabled it through EFI strings or DSDT. If anyone has any input on what I can do to fix this, that'd be very much appreciated, but for now I use the screensaver as a middle-step, so then that becomes the moment where I move the mouse to get the desktop back haha =P. Then if I really am AFK, then it can turn off display, sleep, whatever.
