Two other tips
Authored by: vocaro on Mar 16, '07 10:56:26AM
I've also been having problems waking from sleep ever since I got my first PowerBook. Here are two tips that helped me:
  1. Don't use Logitech Control Center. I had installed it for use with my Logitech mouse, but it was sometimes causing kernel panics when waking from sleep.
  2. Make sure all firmware updates have been installed. A few months ago, Apple released "EFI Firmware Update 1.2" for the MacBook Pro. Among other things, it fixed some of the wake-from-sleep bugs.
Unfortunately, I still get an occasional hang trying to wake from sleep, sometimes even a hang trying to go to sleep. (And yes, I always use the "software sleep" method.) It seems to occur only when using an external display.
