G4 867 S.P.
Authored by: thatch on Feb 13, '03 04:30:53PM

I have a G4 867 single processor that has difficulty automatically going into deep sleep on its own with OS 10.2.3. I haven't figured out the winning combinations yet and haven't spent a lot of time futzing with testing. But I found that I cannot have the times on the various slider bars the same. They must be different from one another. Even still, the time selected isn't accurate. The Screen Effects panel seems to have a part in it as well. I have also wondered if using anacron has something to do with it since it checks if jobs need to be run every hour just around 15 minutes after the top of the hour.

My current settings are:

Energy Saver

Sleep tab

Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for 15 minutes
Use separate time to put display to sleep at 12 minutes
Put hard disk to sleep when possible

Options tab

none selected at all

Screen Effects

Activation tab

Time until screen effect starts at 7 minutes
Do not ask for password

I know that one time recently when I was distracted away from the computer, it didn't deep sleep with those same settings for about an hour. That after the screen effects start at about 3 minutes and a black screen starts at around 5 minutes.
