1. Have you got any firewire devices attached? I had a similar problem in that it kept falling asleep becasue of a LaCie drive attached via firewire. I changed it to USB2 and fixed. The timing you mentions is about right (1 minute). No audio glitches but display would go. I would then have to force it to sleep and out and do a restart which would normally fix it. Energy saver was off.

Using terminal

2. Is "safe sleep" mode on? to turn off: sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0;sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage

3. A lot of problems I had recently went away affter purging Ds_stores. I.e the weird behaviours I mentioned acouple of weeks ago. YOU LOOSE THE STATE OF WINDOWS LIKE COLUMN VIEW ETC BUT SMALL PRICE TO PAY:

echo -n 'CLIX cleaning .DS_Store files... ';sudo find / -name .DS_Store -exec rm -f {} ;;echo done.

4. Turn all animations off.?: defaults write com.apple.finder DisableAllAnimations -bool YES;killall Finder

A lot of finder problems where put right by number 4

Sorry no clear answer from me. P
