Re: External screen on MBP wont wake from sleep

2008-11-25 Thread Christopher S
Hi Dave,

I'm experiencing the same issue I believe it to be driver related, hopefully
10.5.6 will fix it. My temporary solution is to disable sleep. I've had no
problems since doing this - apart from the electricity bill...

Regards,

Chris.



 My new MBP (late 2008) MacOS 10.5.5 and my Apple 20in cinema display
 do not like each other at times - the display will not wake up from
 sleep frequently or will only give brief flashes of a disjointed
 screen. This is fixed by disconnecting then reconnecting the display.
 
 Does any one have any suggestions to fix this temporarily until Apple
 releases a patch, apart from the obvious one of resetting the sleep
 preferences in energy preferences so that the screen never sleeps?

External screen on MBP wont wake from sleep

2008-11-24 Thread David Paul

Hi

My new MBP (late 2008) MacOS 10.5.5 and my Apple 20in cinema display  
do not like each other at times - the display will not wake up from  
sleep frequently or will only give brief flashes of a disjointed  
screen. This is fixed by disconnecting then reconnecting the display.


It would seem that this is a common issue for many using the new MBPs  
and external displays (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1774560tstart=0 
 ) and does seem to be independent of the screen being used and the  
minidvi to dvi adaptor.


One suggestion to resolve this when the screen has failed to wake is  
to set up in expose an active display corner so this can be an easier  
way to awaken the screen from sleep which did not work for me  
unfortunately.


Does any one have any suggestions to fix this temporarily until Apple  
releases a patch, apart from the obvious one of resetting the sleep  
preferences in energy preferences so that the screen never sleeps?


Thanks
Dave
