Hello good mac people!


i have a question about some funny behavior on my new macbook...


when i come home and hook the macbook up to my external monitor and then try to wake up the computer using my apple bluetooth mouse, nothing works.

i repair the mouse and the keyboard to the computer, and then i can wake it up, but even then the monitor resolution is to the laptop's monitor and not the external monitor. this continues for about a minute, the display settings suggesting that the resolutions are correct, but the external monitor is obviously not at native resolution. and then the screen goes dark, a few moments pass, and the screen finally changes to the external monitors resolution.



how can i avoid this?

why is this happening?

hmmmm.


thanks,
r.
 
and it happens again!


why won't my bluetooth mouse/keyboard wake it up???
(bluetooth pref pane says it's supposed to)

why is the resolution incorrect on my external monitor?
(displays pref pane says it should be)
