Frequently when waking from sleep I find that one of three things has happened (most frequent to least): 1. the monitors come on, but all I see is the outline of the windows I had open - the windows are completely blank (white) inside 2. the monitors come on, but I don't have a visible mouse cursor and nothing responds to any key combinations (I use Kensington Mouseworks) 3. in one case, the monitors wouldn't come on at all In all cases, my only recourse is to hit the reset button on the G4 tower. Any ideas? I trolled through macfixit.com, Apple support and the ATI site and didn't find anything related. Any help is much appreciated.

I think this is a bug in the Epson driver, since it happens on my iMac DV SE only with 740 and 740i's. Try unchecking the "fit to page if possible" checkbox in Page Setup. I'm SURE if that's checked you'll have the problem. When it isn't checked, I don't encounter the problem.
