I have the same problem. After sleep the remote no longer controls the mac. I am running Mac Mini, 2.0 ghz. OS 10.5.1. Remote Buddy 1.8. First noticed it after updating to 10.5.
A few more details from my case:
If the sleep has been of only a short duration (a minute or so) -- the problem consistently does NOT occur. If the sleep is overnight, it consistently DOES occur. (is there some "deep sleep" mode in the mac?) I will experiment to see how long the duration needs to be in order for the problem to occur -- in case it helps.
The remote works again after restarting remote buddy.
Also, when I access menu from the menu bar icon, I noticed that when this problem occurs, the remote is NOT listed in the hardware listings for the IR receiver. I see only the shaded "no remote control found"
final thought -- noticed on apple's docs that there is a difference in how "portables" and non-portable computers sleep. The mini runs on a portable architecture (as far as I know?). might it be relevant? (assuming the problem is mini-specific?
