Asrock P67 Extreme4 UEFI & Drivers thread [Extreme6 & Pro3 owners welcome]

It would be nice to have an option to power on with a key combination (like ctrl+esc or something similar), instead of just "any key" option we currently have.
Ket, can you forward this request to ASRock when you send that list?

this seems to be an uefi problem. i've disabled legacy usb support for the usb3 ports and simply plugged my mice in it. the keyboard is connected to the usb 2.0 port with legacy support enabled. this works fine. no problems at all... but hopefully there is an uefi update soon that solves this bug!

I have a little checklist for you to go through. Once I know the answers to these questions we will be able to look at things in more detail

- Is the mouse connected to a USB2 ports?
- Turn ON legacy USB support
- There are several version of the SteelSeries Xai, which specific one do you have?

Everybody is really busy with Computex coming up so once things have settled down a bit again I'll mention your request

------------------------------------------------------

On another topic I mentioned about the P67 Extreme4 not always being able to wake from sleep with a high overclock and both myself and one of my contacts have tried really hard to duplicate the problem with UEFI 1.6, 1.64A, and 1.7. We can't so there shouldn't be any problems anymore.

Even when PLL is enabled?

the mouse was connected to the usb 2.0 port and legacy usb was enabled yes. that lead into error code b4 and long boot up time.
I don't know if there are several Versions for the Steelseries Xai. I bought it in November 2009. The Software / Firmware was updated to v 1.42 which you can find at steelseries.com.

well there is a small workaroud:

- usb 2.0 port, legacy usb enabled, only my keyboard is attached to this port
- usb 3.0 port, legacy usb disabled, my steelseries xai is connected to this one
- you can't use your mouse in uefi of course but the keyboard works...
- bootup works fine! But this sould not be the solution! so hopefully the asrock guys can fix this bug by a new uefi bios

Just connect your mouse to a USB2 port.

This could be a problem with the firmware on your mouse. Have you sent a email to the manufacturer of your mouse telling them the problem you get with it on your mobo? Its 50/50 really, could swing the way of the UEFI or the firmware on the mouse.
