I have two questions about my G4.

One is about how much power is pulled when in deep sleep,

Secondly, is there a way to disable mouse input to wake my computer from sleep? My wireless logitech mouse has a habit of turning my computer back on. I know it's my mouse because if I turn the mouse off then my mac stays asleep, where as if it's on then my mac will wake up in a few minutes.

I wasn't sure if what the exact location of where this question should belong since it deals with several areas. Sorry to any mods. Except schweb (kidding).;D

there is very little power being drawn while the computer is in sleep mode.

i don't currently have a mouse to test this with. but i believe that in the system pref. under Keyboard and Mouse you can select whether or not the peripheral can wake the computer. unless it's bluetooth, than i'm almost certain you can do it in the same place only under the bluetooth tab.

after some interneting. i believe that you can't stop it from doing this without turning off/unplugging the mouse. it's just not a feature macs have. if anyone else knows otherwise please correct me.

so i think you will just have to turn it off before you put your mac too sleep. sorry.
