One possible fix for a black screen on wake from sleep
Authored by: teach on Mar 16, '07 08:02:18AM
I wish I could say the same. The software sleep is the ONLY method I ever use, and I get the black screen about 20% of the time when waking from sleep. In my case, I am usually plugged into a monitor, go to sleep, unplug from the monitor, move to another location and try to wake up. Like I said, about 20% of the time I cannot wake up and have to do a hard reboot. I just went from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 yesterday, I'm hoping that helps. We'll see.

I actually was having sleep issues similar to this. I reset the PMU on my machine and sleep started working correctly again.

I have had the same problem, not sure if this is stating the obvious but I found that simply by unplugging the external monitor FIRST, waiting for the screen to cycle back to the single screen mode and THEN sleeping, the problem has not recurred once.
