My powermac seems to run very smoothly all except for a sleep bug. When I put it to sleep and then try to wake it back up, it starts, but then it often goes right back to sleep. Usually i need to wake it up several times before it stays up.
Is there any known solution for this?

System:
duel 2ghz
1gig ram
OS 10.3.9

You're waking up your G5 with mouse movement? My DP 2.0 does not wake up for that; I didn't think any Macs responded to the mouse while in sleep mode. Strange.

Hmm...maybe. Mine's a cordless logitech.

I just tried the stock apple mouse, and you're right, Big Mac, it doesn't wake the system like my logitech does. Yet, I wouldn't be so sure it's the mouse to blame, because when i woke the system up with the power button, it did the same thing...

Can anyone else shed some light here?
