Just got a 24" Cinema, Magic Trackpad, and Wireless Keyboard to go alongside my 13" MBP. Everything works fine, and I use the MBP in clamshell mode with just the cinema display.
Energy Saver preferences are never sleep, and sleep display after ten minutes when on AC power. Screen saver activates after five minutes. I have hot corners for both display sleep and screen saver as well, so I can activate them on command.
The screen keeps waking up! It will go to screensaver, then go black, but then after some number of minutes the display is just.. active, as though I was using the computer. Is there any way to discover what the culprit is?
Thought it was the magic trackpad getting some form of input, but even if I turn it off and sleep the display with the keyboard it still ends up waking up. Help!
edit: it might also be of note that I have an external hard drive running THROUGH the cinema display that is constantly being accessed while the display is asleep
