I noticed the same kind of thing. My iBook would run out of battery and just replugging the AC, and typing on the kbd, moving the mouse and such (maybe hitting the power button) would wake it up (although with video garbage sometimes, but switching back and forth to the console would fix it)... If somebody wants more infos, I'm available. Cheers -- /Bastien Nocera http://hadess.net
