First thanks for this workaround and for people, like me, who are annoyed by all the unnecessary flickers when starting the laptop, waking up "system" sleep or getting rid of screensaver, here is how i worked around it and made sure that only display wake changes the resolutions. Note that I am lazy and I used the instructions but modified it with my steps. So the idea is that, wake in sleepwatcher is reacting on any of the above events which is causing all the unnecessary flickers, however the sleep display function was acting correctly only on when the display sleep, so my solution was creating a "boolean flag" when the real sleep happens, the flag is an empty file, now when the wake execute the script, it checks the flag to make sure this is a real sleep and based if the file exists or not it changes the resolution. 1) follow the steps mentioned in the main post and make sure you get it working 2) In terminal, we need to modify the startup item for sleepwatcher. sudo -s <enter your password> nano -w /Library/StartupItems/Sleepwatcher/Sleepwatcher Scroll down to line 18, it looks like this: /usr/local/sbin/sleepwatcher -d -V -s /etc/rc.sleep -W /etc/rc.wakeup Change it to look like this: /usr/local/sbin/sleepwatcher -d -V -S /etc/rc.sleep -W /etc/rc.wakeup ** NOTICE: The only change is changing the lower case 's' to an uppercase 'S' ** Scroll down to line 28 (it's identical to the one above) and do the same thing. Save and exit 3) Next we need to make a sleep file for sleepwatcher to use nano -w /Users/YOUR-USER-NAME/.sleep Substitute YOUR-USER-NAME with your home folder name. In .sleep put this: #!/bin/bash touch sleepdate Save and exit. 4) the .sleep file has to be executable. chown root:wheel /Users/YOUR-USER-NAME/.sleep chmod 755 /Users/YOUR-USER-NAME/.sleep 5) change the .wakeup to look like this #!/bin/bash if [ -f ~/sleepdate ] then cscreen -d 16 -x 1440 -y 900 && cscreen -d 32 -x 1440 -y 900 rm -f ~/sleepdate fi 6) restart and you should be gold

Kizwan, do you mind if you post your system.log and ioreg from the laptop with pcmcia, I just want to see how it identifies the card and compare. thanks,

Kizwan, Thanks for your help in last 2 days. I tried a new install with your suggestions but still not working, same as before, the card is identified but not being assigned to the driver. I kinda gave up on this, I guess I will wait on my friend to let me borrow his dell d620 which seems to be 99% fully functional. Thanks again

Kizwan, Thanks for the explanation. which one of these shall I try first (AppleSMBIOSEFI or SMBIOSResolver) and to make sure, I just pickup only one from this list, AppleSMBIOSEFI or SMBIOSResolver ▼ AppleSMBIOS Patch AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 1066MHz AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 800MHz AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 667MHz AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 DDR3 1333MHz AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 MacBook AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 MacBook DDR2 AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 Mac AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 iMac AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev6 MacBook AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev6 iMac AppleSMBIOS AnV MacPro AppleSMBIOS AnV MacBookPro AppleSMBIOS ToH AppleSMBIOS-28 AppleSMBIOSEFI SMBIOSResolver

Kizwan, I will try it tonight right after work. I haven't tried the AppleSMBIOS patch so maybe it will help and I will also make sure to use Chun-Nan BatteryManager. It's a newbie question, but wht is the AppleSMBIOS for? Thanks

kizwan, Thanks for looking into this. When I collected the system.log, I didn't have my ethernet card activated yet and this is the reason you saw the error. For the packages, I use vanila kernel with only mouse/keyboard patch fix as well as power mgmt to display the battery. I didn't install any wireless or network drivers. I installed IPC and IDneb 3 times now , but

Hello Kizwan, Sorry about that, this is the ioreg as requested new ioreg 1) Does the LED on the card lit? Yep, it does lit 2) Which release did you use? iDeneb, iPC, retail or etc? I used both iDeneb and IPC 10.5.6 with the same issue. FYI, I use Chun-nan kext to enable the PCMIA 3) Can you tell me about your wired network card? The wired connection works perfectly, I am using Intel82566MM.kext and I only had to edit its info file to match the right version for IOPCIFamily which changed after loading chun-nan's fix <key>com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily</key> <string>2.4</string> Hope you find my issue thanks a lot

bump some logs system.log ioreg dmesg Thanks

Hey Kizwan, AS requested, please see below links ( i couldn't attach files), I got a copy of dmesg, system.log and ioreg. Note how the card has been identified IOPCCard info: cs: cb_alloc(bus 3): vendor 0x14e4, device 0x4325 Please let me know if anything I can try. system.log ioreg dmesg Thanks

Thanks again Kizwan, I will post them once I get home. BTW I have a snippet of the both system.log and ioreg in my previous post, but I will get the complete logs once I finish work. Thanks a lot.

Hello Kizwan, First Thanks a lot for your reply, I am so glad somebody is trying to help me When I go to system preferences -> network, I only see my ethernet (activated), bluetooth and firewire listed there. If I try to add a new interface, I don't get an option to add a wireless interface, is there anything specific I need to do? I also tried to edit the network interface and changed en0 to en1 with no luck. It looks to me that the AppleAirPortBrcm4311.kext is not getting assigned to the wireless card, so not sure what to do.

Hello, I posted this one in a different thread but i thought having its own topic may get more answers. I need help figuring out why my PCMIA wireless MN-720 is not being picked up by the OS. I am running os x 10.5.6 on my HP 2510p, I used Chan-nan pci driver to enable the PCMIA slots. I bought the MN-720 wireless PCMIA adapter, which has a broadcom chipset that supposed to be natively supported. However, when I insert the card, I can see it on the finder bar with an option to turn it off, and two grayed out options "Broadcom and "802.11b cardbus" however the Airport icon is not being displayed. Looking at dmesg, I see that the cardbus has been activated IOPCCard info: cs: cb_free(bus 3) IOPCCard: shutting down socket 0. IOPCCard: calling terminate on socket 0 function 0 nub 0x3b39000.
