[G4] Re: Sleep or leave running?

[Eric Smith]

I have always had the same problem with my USB 2.0 card, and I am currently
running 10.4.11. It doesn't seem to be bus powered devices that cause it,
though, but any storage device (bus powered or not) that is powered on.
So I have to make sure that any USB storage devices on the card are ejected
and powered off before the computer sleeps. Otherwise, the display will
sleep but the computer does not and then there's no way to recover the
display.

I have two printers that are self powered and there is no problem with them connected.  I use the built in usb 1 connection for my keyboard and mouse and if I need to use a bus powered device on the usb 2 card I disconnect before sleeping.  A bit of a nuisance but better than a hard shutdown with the startup button on my 1.25 GHz DP MDD.  I haven't seen the problem since upgrading to OS 10.4.11 but I haven't really tested all combinations.
