Matias keyboard and wake/sleep

On the iG5 with 10.3.9, I normally sleep the machine by pressing the power button on the back of the unit.

After two days of effortless typing with the Matias (god, it really does make a difference) I've noticed an interesting difference.

On the iG5 with 10.3.9, I normally sleep the machine by pressing the power button on the back of the unit. Easy, reliable, instant (well, a couple of seconds at most). I have checked System prefs->Energy saver->Options->'Allow power button to sleep the computer'.

The wake options (if the modem detects a ring, or for admin access via Ethernet) are unchecked.

With the Apple keyboard I would wake it by tapping the space bar. Worked every time. With the Matias, it only works some of the time. If the Mac has been asleep for a long period, like overnight, it doesn't respond to the keyboard, but wakes fine if I press the power button.

This is no hardship, but I wonder why it's changed?

I find this with mine as well, although with me it works 80% of the time.

Clicking the mouse has so far worked 100%.

Just to add - this morning neither the keyboard nor the mouse would wake the machine - I had to press the power button.

And tobacco cannot be blamed for this, as I am still resolutely smoking in the kitchen!

It is utterly unbesmirched, as I am still smoking in the kitchen.

Sadly that is more than I can say for myself, as I seem to have a chest infection, and the medical folk I was out with last night suggested I obtain antibiotics forthwith. :-(

Yep, looks like it. Off to doc on Monday if I can. As someone said last night, 'You don't really hear people cough like that in this century'.

Willpower is an extremely overrated thing. You have to actually want to give something up - it's like a switch in your head, as I had with booze.

I think they are working, slowly....
