Have you posted your most current DSDT file somewhere? Let me take a look. Both my MOBOs woke on keyboard or mouse a GA-EP35-DS4 and GA-EP45-UD3P. I actually think this is a mistake on Gigabyte's behalf. The D3 device is a mystery. I have a GA-EP45-UD3P and it doesn't reference the D3 address. I also found an error in the USB device section in the DSDT for my other MOBO a GA-EP35-DS4.

Updated iaslMe with latest version of the ACPICA compiler.
Here is the source code: acp ica.org/downloads/ I've been getting strange results with the previous release if iaslMe so I've recompiled it to use the latest version of ACPICA 2009.7.30. Seems to do a better job compiling. Enjoy.
