One possible fix for a black screen on wake from sleep
Authored by: ingo on Mar 16, '07 08:43:19AM

When I am putting the laptop to sleep I always do that by closing the lid
This works all the time as long as I remember two very important steps:
1. Remove the USB mouse before closing the lid
2. Do not insert the USB mouse before the computer is started.
This works without a hitch on my MacBook Pro and also on my PowerBook (Titan) before!
If I am not following the steps above, different things can happen after sleep:
- Black screen!, but usually it continue the start up after a while
- The log in prompt comes up twice
