Periodically, I lose the keyboard and mouse "after" hitting the
spacebar to wake from sleep. It has all the appearance of a Finder
freeze. Obviously I have prior USB connectivity, or the spacebar wake-
up wouldn't work. Either connectivity is being dropped or it is a
Finder freeze. The monitor is up, no keyboard and mouse, and the only
way out is a hard shutdown and reboot. It has occurred individually
on all of my Applications, and several times right at the Login
panel. Began in 10.2 right through 10.4.5.
On my iBook with the same devices connected?excepting external
keyboard and mouse, same Applications running, consistently on the
same update version as the G5, it has never happened to date. It
would lead one to believe it to be a G5 DP problem :)
I have done all the usual alternate key combinations, disconnecting
devices, alternate USB ports, quitting Applications, trashing plist,
resetting Energy preferences etc., but the problem persist?twice this
week! I have a new commercial grade protector, have checked line
voltage, checked plugs, and have a dedicated 40 AMP breaker with no
other loads on the circuit, so I believe the power problems to be
eliminated.
I have searched Apple Support, and various search word combinations
in Google. I find lots of reference to the problem, but nothing
definitive as to the solution. Anyone heard or read of a solution?
TIA...jf
