I am running JAS 10.4.8 Intel.AMD and it works great apart from Sleep mode.

 

When I go into Sleep mode it doesn't turn the screen on when it comes back out.

 

I am using an Nvidia Geforce 7900GS with dual monitors. I have tried with one monitor and also with both Natit and Titan and with a different Nvidia card. No matter what I do the monitor never comes out of sleep mode so I have to reset the PC.

 

I have turned off sleep mode, but that is costing me money since the machine needs to be on all the time. I have S3 mode set in the BIOS and I am using an Asus P5W DH Deluxe with an Intel Core 2 Duo.

 

Is there anything I can do to debug this problem?

 

Thanks

I am not actually looking for a solution, just a way to debug it myself.

 

There must be some record somewhere of what is happening when I try to come out of sleep.

 

 

Look in the console in Application>Utilities and see what is going on. It may be a driver issue.

After messing around a bit more, I've made the following observations:

 

When setting the computer to automatically sleep in power settings, OSX forces you to also set the display to sleep at the same time. When the computer goes to sleep and is revived, the screen stays black, but after 20 secs, gradually fades to vertical white lines.

 

HOWEVER, when directly choosing sleep from the menu, the computer will fully recover from sleep. BUT I can only put the computer to sleep once until I restart. After recovering and clicking sleep again, nothing happens, the computer just doesn't sleep, but everything else works.

 

Hope this info helps someone.

Works fine here- I ran the monitors thru DVI-A and not DVI-D and sleep works beautifully using Neo's installer without any special tweaks/hacks.

 

Check my specs for hardware configuration.
