Beige G3 suspends in Jaguar, how do I waken it?

My Beige G3 seems to suspend itself, I've tried to tell it not to.

But to wake it what am I supposed to press? Power key on keyboard does nothing and power key on front of machine turns it off.

Video card?

Video card?
No, it's using the built in old style Apple video connector.

I've had the same problem with a beige G3 tower running X.2, and with a ATI Rage 128 pci card installed.

It seems to wake sometimes, and not others.

The keyboard. Try your spacebar.

I wonder if it is related to the .kext files.

When my Beige G3 was working I had a similar issue.

Something to try from Apple:

Wow! I'd never seen that screen saver before! The box must have been locking up when the screen save kicked in!

I actually had a similar problem with a *cough* old pc *cough*. The computer would lock up when the screen saver kicked in after display sleep.
