Not any one of connecting the mouse to the DA directly (on-board USB), USB 2 PCI-X card, hub in the 20-in Cinema Display or the other port in the Macally keyboard has made a difference in the behaviour.
I have had me doots aboot the keyboard, in that its left-hand USB port has not recognized/powered up a SanDisk Cruzer thumb drive, but the mouse works in either port despite that it takes the 15sec to go through the Sylvester-like 'Wrack-sploot-zzz ... Is someone calling I?' at wakeup.
