I an hit any key on the keyboard (or button on the mouse... just movement
does not wake it). This is handy when I walk into the room and am doing
other things: just hit the space bar or the enter key on the number pad or
whatever else and it wakes as I do other stuff. The built in monitor is very
fast to wake but the secondary one is a cheap one that takes longer.
