Already have that set and it works.

What I am looking for is Lid *Open* to automagically wake it up from
Sleep.

Actually, I have it set to Hibernate on Lid Close... if that makes any
diff.


Wake is for sleep.
You can't wake from Hibernation.
When you've Hibernated everything is powered off.

Although Windows 8 tends to use a hybrid mode where the state is saved
as in hibernate, but power is retained as in sleep. As I understand it,
if power is not lost, startup is quicker, i.e, the same as in sleep.

And it *does* feels like that to me with my W8 setup.
