I tried a few searches and nothing came up that addressed my specific problem so here we go:
I recently purchased a new HDTV that can finally handle the full resolution of my MBP. It works fine via a DVI-HDMI cable whenever the lid is open; however, the machine puts itself to sleep when I close the lid yet won't wake itself from this state when I activate either my mighty mouse or wireless keyboard. I have the "allow this device to wake the computer up" setting engaged in both the bluetooth and mouse/keyboard sections of preferences but still nothing. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a solution? I don't want to use Insomnia (or whatever the name of the program is that tricks the machine into staying awake when the lid is closed) as I am wanting to use the MBP to watch archived movies, surf the web, and play a few simple games through my new TV and over heating could become a real problem if the screen stays on too long.
Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
