Hi Severin, this doesn't help, but my G5 1.8 SP doesn't go to sleep by
itself either, I have to do it manually. Hence, its not the best
computer for using with my EyeTV, my mac mini will go to sleep when
its finished recording a program, but the G5 keeps chugging on.
cheers, Susan.

I am puzzled at the Sleep habits of my G5 1.8, 10.5.5.
If I select Sleep from the Apple menu it goes unambiguously into
full sleep to be awakened by hitting a key.
Energy saver is set to put displays to sleep after 7 mins (which it
does) and to put the computer to sleep after 10mins. Additionally
the disks are set to sleep whenever possible.
If I walk away from the computer it never goes properly to sleep,
the red light always shows in my USB mouse which will bring the
display back to life with a mouse movement and I can hear the disks
running.
Mail is set to check every 15 mins, Degrees Down Under refreshes
every 10 mins and Skype usually shows me online. I believe
Activity monitor should lead me to what is preventing full sleep but
am unable to interpret what I see. This is not a vital matter but I
would like to understand what is going on, comments much appreciated.
