FWIW, the screen saver (RSS Visualizer) kicks in at 15 mins.; display sleep kicks in at about 45 mins. If it matters, the G4 is networked to my wife's iMac (Tiger 10.4.11 on the G4, Leopard on the iMac). I futzed with the Energy Saver prefs on the G4, shut down the Epson printer on the iMac (shared from the G4), and killed an app or two we had open on both machines at the same time. I invoked the screen saver as normal and went to bed, and this morning it work from sleep with a touch of the mouse. It has since slept again and once more awoke without a problem by just lightly touching the mouse. Corrupted prefs, perhaps? Fussy about the USB printer being "open" and in the Dock of the iMac? Irritable because an app was open on both machines at the same time? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
