[QUOTE="bigtrees5000, post: 1370173, member: 238084"] It appears that when the wireless mouse is moved, it wakes up the Macbook Air, and hence why the external display reverts back to the lesser resolution. I read in another post that this appears to be a new issue with Lion. It doesn't allow the laptop to stay asleep when open. I'm hoping there's a way to fix this is the Display or Energy Saver options, so that I don't have to keep the lid on my Air closed. As is, the fan on the 2011 Air sounds like a Jet Engine after about a minute of watching a Netflix or Hulu clip (I may have to reset the SMC) In the meantime, I'll test out a wired mouse, just to be sure. Thx. [/QUOTE]
