Dabluest Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 So I was pretty excited with the release of 10.6.2, since I heard Apple updated the Intel GMA drivers for 64-bit. This had been the only thing holding me back from booting into 64-bit mode. So, after installing the update and working out all the kinks, I booted up without the 32-bit mode flag. Yay! It worked! That is until I went to sleep my laptop display (i.e. turn off the backlight) and discovered that nothing happened! Instead of turning off the backlight, the display stayed on. Even sleep mode was affected: Display would stay on until the machine hibernated, and then when waking up, the display would not turn back on, forcing me to have to shut it down. After going round and round trying to fix it, I finally decided to boot back in 32-bit mode and test again. Lo and behold, that was the problem. In 32-bit mode, my display sleeps as normal, as well as waking from sleep. In 64-bit, nothing. This leads me to suspect the updated GMA graphics drivers, specifically the X3100 ones. So, anyone else out there with this problem in 64-bit mode on 10.6.2? Any solutions? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug999 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yes, i have the same situation My book, x3100 in 32 bit sleep working and fine in 64 bit display sleep trouble like your somebody help us!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furkanmustafa Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Apple's X3100 driver binarys are only available for 32-bit. So, your (and mine) x3100 videos can only work with 32bit kernel, we're stuck (until 64bit driver comes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabluest Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Thanks for your replies guys. Furkanmustafa, I thought 10.6.2 had the updated GMA Graphics drivers for 64-bit. It boots fine in 64-bit with default resolution (1280 X 800) and QE/CI, it's just not turning off the backlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I power on the notebook acer extensa 5220. In chameleon I choose the SnowLeo Partition, and after 2 second notebook reboot. In CPUS=1 or arch=i386 or X86_64, with DSDT or without DSDT, I have the same results, REBOOT. I must use the kernel 10.0.0 with kernel 10.0.0 My notebook go well, in 64bit and 32bit. Sleep go well.

pyrates Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 If people with macbook's with the x3100 chipset are having this issue, its gotta be a driver issue. Looks like I gotta wait minimum until 10.6.3 comes out for it to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach-os Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 this might be some interesting news for everybody without any chance with x3100, ich-8 and Snow Leo. my toshiba qosmio fv45 didn´t sleep whatever I tried, till I´ve found a solution reading this post http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1163940 now it sleeps in 32bit mode without sleepenabler. open your dsdt.aml with dstse and first delete the whole usb/uhc and ehci sections. now when you compile you will get some errors with dependencies on uhc/usb/ehci - delete them as well and it should compile without errors. before you boot into 32bit mode delete sleepenabler! otherwise it will panic - also the netkas 10.6.2 version. in 32 sleep fully working - in 64 it sleeps, but screen stays black after wakeup. only issue: on wakeup you will have again a warning in case you mounted any usb devices before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soap.cx Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I have the same issue ((( Sleep and Display Brightness do not work in 64 bit mode. Probably we should wait untill 10.6.3 update. and!!!!

It is NOT a screen problem, it is THE SYSTEM not waking properly from sleep. And that's because if it was a screen prob you could be able to vnc to it. Plus it does not respond to keyboard strokes. I'm pretty sure it is not an x64 bit x3100FB prob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn´t explain it correctly - but nevertheless the x3100 kexts, which only work in 32bit mode, are causing that trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnapalm Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Same problem on Acer Aspire 5920, sleep works only in 32 bit. AppleIntelCPUPM works, there is no need for SleepEnabler. I just had to remove _PRW from devices HDEF and EHC1, which caused instant wake after sleep. From ACPI spec: 7.2.10 _PRW (Power Resources for Wake)This object is only required for devices that have the ability to wake the system from a system sleeping state.
