One possible fix for a black screen on wake from sleep
Authored by: noworryz on Apr 09, '07 01:52:49PM

I've had the "black screen after sleep" problem for years on both a G4 iBook and C2D MacBook Pro. I finally tracked it down to having the Security preferences "Require password to wake this computer from sleep" check box checked while having the Energy Saver preferences Power Adapter setting "Put the display to sleep when the computer is inactive for" set to "Never."

Changing the energy saver optimization to "Normal" for both the Power Adapter and Battery has improved my life immensely, although the MacBook goes to sleep a little more often than I'd like.
