In regards to OSX, I remember Maxxuss saying that starting 10.4.5, Intel Mac kernel started to use it exclusively, and not many people had HPET in their system.
Hmmm...you know what I'm thinking? I should enable HPET and try to run one of newer kernel w/o any kernel patches and see how far it goes.

I have BIOS 1.1.
Here is picture (a little blurry) of my ACPI setting:

I have tried these settings and my USB survives a sleep now. Weird. Settings you would think would HELP, don't. Not sure which exactly makes it work, but it appears to work, so I'm not going to mess with it. :-). Thanks for the tips (& sharing!)

10.4.6 JaS, updated to JaS 10.4.7, DVI using GMA 950, 10/100 NIC, 4 GB memory.

Your welcome plympton,
It is good to have your confirmation

EDIT: btw, if you do large file transfer (i.e., Torrent using Transmission) that takes long time, OSX won't sleep until that transfer is paused or finished. I haven't rebooted for 2 days now.

I upgraded my BIOS to 1.2 and sleep still works (bonus: improved my xbench a little).

[Ryanux]

You must, PLEASE and then report back.
I want at least 3 confirmation.
Oh, I forgot about that (I have no need for that yet). Probably not, haven't tested...O.k., make that 98.999 % compatible. Nevertheless, I'm still very happy

Few things about sleep:
1. If you make display and system sleep at exactly same time, only display sleep takes effect.
2. If you are playing QT video for like 2 1/2 hours, sleep function is disabled during that time (nice feature).

i'm a bit late, but i had no choice, really...

Well i tried with bios 1.20 and all the settings like yours but it doesnt work... i have an apple usb keyboard.

i'm using Jas 10.4.7 and my system is overclocked to 320mhz fsb.

One last thing, there is a jumper setting that allow for USB devices to wake the system up. You have to set that right. I will check my manual. Be right back.

uh? i didnt know that, please tell me which one

Turn off your system with PSU switch.
Here is a small diagram of your mobo. Refer to 1 (PS2_USB_PWR1 Jumper]. As the name implies, it enables PS2 and USB devices to wake up the mobo. Short pin 2 and 3 (See page 16 of your mobo manual for further details). Pin 1 is closest to the cornor of the mobo.

Well, it was already on 2-3 i tried back but still doesn't work

[Ryanux]

Or thats not completely true :

- When it just turn off display but continue to run, if i move the mouse or hit any key of the usb keyboard, it turns on normally.

I noticed also that when i tried to make it sleep, it doesent really sleep : fans continue to run, HDD too, it just turn off display but there, i cant awake it.

i'm also thinking about making a topic for the few little things that makes our hackintosh system based on a conroe945G-DVI "unperfect" :

- Wake / Sleep statement
- Sound in
- Usb & Firewire 100% Compatible cards

What d'you think about it?

We have 3 people who got it working properly. So I know you can get it work properly. Just matter of time. I have had sleep/wake working with 10.4.4, 4.6, and now with 4.8.

Yes, go ahead.

i'm running 10.4.8 too... i think a good step is to know first, why my machine doesen't sleep completely (fans and Hdd still running) and then we can go further.

My machine was sleeping correctly under bios 1.00 and this problem appears for me by going thru the 1.20 update.

[molsar]

sleep works well on my config but...when i want to restart after wake-it's shutingdown the system.

Yes, I agree.

I think mine started to work correctly with 1.1 (I have 1.2). I don't think it worked under 1.0 (too far back to remember).

sleep works well on my config

Great, 4th confirmation

but...when i want to restart after wake-it's shutingdown the system.

Yes. It happens on mine, too. I wasn't sure what to make of it (i.e., sleep and waking up puts processor in funky mode or sleeping puts OSX into a mode that does shutdown instead of restart). Lets narrow it down. What processor do you have?
Mine is Pentium D 805.

What´s the problem with Usb & Firewire 100% Compatible cards and this mobo?

[gregor]

HPET does not load on my Hackintoh (JAS 10.4.6 and 10.4.7). I get an error (yellow message with -v switch) stating that can not load HPET class. Any idea?

I am having ACER laptop with Centrino duo T2300 @ 1.66.
Please help, if you know something about it, since I do not find anything about it.

greetings

hm, i'll make some changes to bios settings.

my pci card was recognised but usb ports didnt function... but it's ok now with 10.4.8, surely a driver problem.

[jojon]

Sleep works but when it wakes up no video.

[RiceTea]

You were trying an USB+Firewire combo card?
