Its no bug, its just when you close the lid the iBook sleeps, you would have to either:
* Leave the monitor open
* Plug an extrernal monitor + mouse and click when the iBook is sleeping with lid closed. Works for me. Beware iBook may get hot

Thanx for the help. i have a monitor and mouse connected to my ibook. when i close the lid it will stay awake for 20 seconds or so ill move the mouse and it will wake up but then it just continues in that cycle every 20 seconds or so.
