i.wanna.corndog Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hello everyone, I have a Toshiba Qosmio G15-AV501 with Macvidia driver and the latest relase of the power management plugin from this forum. For some reason, when I close the lid on my laptop then reopen it after a few seconds, I get a flashing cursor on a black screen, then I get a screen of blocks of color. If I try to use the touchpad, I can see lines in the boxes of color, like my mouse is moving, but I cannot read anything on the screen and am forced to reboot the computer into OS X to have a useable environment. I tried checking the BIOS to see if my laptop was the reason the computer went to sleep when the lid was shut, but I couldn't find any settings in regards to closing the lid, so I would assume OS X is putting the laptop to sleep and it's having trouble waking up. Has anyone else had this issue? Is it a problem in the Macvidia driver with initializing the driver? Is there any way to disable sleep mode in OS X? Thanks guys!

TombstoneX Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I had a very similar problem and these steps worked for me. Good luck. If you enable Hot Corners to Sleep Display and when you experience the issue of the display not turning back on, all you have do is move the trackpad pointer (even though you cant see the mouse moving) to the Hot Corner and then back off of it and the display will wake. To Enable Hot Corners: Apple Icon >> System Preferences >> Desktop & Screen Saver >> Hot Corners... (Button) >> Change any of the corners or all of the corners to "Sleep Display" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15074-strange-things-happen-when-i-close-my-laptop-lid/#findComment-1111567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
