My ROM is pretty much done so I am going to release it now.
If I figure out this deep sleep, I will release a patch.

Now first off I am trying to understand this IR remote power off issue and deep sleep.

When I use the power button on the remote with a short press, the system goes to sleep. I can tell it still has power because the LEDs on my USB hub are still on. When I press power button again, it does wake up.
Do I have to wait a long time to see the deep sleep issue?

Did you know about this functionality?
Instead of a short press on the power button, if you hold it in you will get a power menu. If I select sleep vs power off the system goes to sleep (USB hub LEDs on) and I can wake it up again. However, if I select power off from this menu, the X8 powers off (LEDs on USB hub are off). The remote will not power it on. This is expected functionality to me?

In both cases of sleep why am I able to wake it with no issues? Again do I have to wait for some period of time and then it goes to deep sleep?
