Read the user manual of your laptop, there's a section in there show how to change the wireless card. The card go to a slot at the bottom of your laptop called mini pci slot, you have to take the cover out, and install the card to the wwan slot or take out the old wlan card and replace it with the 1490. You can have both the cards installed but it's a little more complicated to manage in windows vista

Ok, I looked into some info, and finding that all documentation about IOPMRootDomain are close to nonexisting.

But to make OS X sleep a call to IOPMSleepSystem() is all that is needed. Or from a kext with function receivePowerNotification (kIOPMSleepNow) That is the easy part.

There is no use in changing the AppleClamshellCausesSleep value in it self as it is updated by the kernel and not read. Here you see the code which does just that:



the call that decides the value is this:



and that same call is used to check if sleep on clamshell close is possible as shown in this code



So basically what we need is to find out how we can set the values 1. ignoringClamshell 2. ignoringClamshellDuringWakeup 3. desktopMode and 4. acAdaptorConnect

No. 4 is when the AC adaptor is connected, so disconnecting should be all that is needed (you will need proper powermanagment working.

No. 1 is evaluated and true if external display is connected false if not.

No. 2 is true when waking up from sleep. Should be false after 30 seconds.

No. 3 is a value that is evaluated in the following code:



It says that this code is sent from graphics, and I think that is what is blocking for clamshell sleep. Any other ideas? Or someone here good at kernel programming that can make a kext doing that? I will try it, but any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone. I have spent almost a week tweaking my Mac OS X86 install on my M1530 and here is my report so far.

I tried both iAtkos and Kalyway distros and found Kalyway to work better out of the box for my setup. iAtkos worked fine but I didn't have a working wireless card. With Kalyway I had a working Wireless card.

I had a bunch of issues with partitioning. I installed Mac Os on /sda6, where Ubuntu used to reside. I had the mediadirect partitions in there, Vista, Linux Swap and a Media partition to share data between Linux and Vista. This media partition is the only one I am concerned about. In the end I ended up using gparted to remove the mediadirect partitions and leave only a Vista primary partition, and a Mac OS and Media partition as part of an extended partition. I am using the Vista BCD and it works perfectly.

Once in Mac OS I have a working Wireless card all the time. I installed the Nvidia drivers using NVInstaller 0.41. I used the AppleHDA.kext file that is posted at the beginning of this thread and my audio is hit and miss. I also upgraded to 10.5.2 using the guide.

I just installed the netkas 9.2.0 kernel for speedstep and I got no crashes.

Now for the non working parts.

Audio

Before installing the netkas 9.2.0 kernel I could get Audio to work by using the Sleep Screen hot corner trick. It didn't work for me all the time. I found that a sure way to make it work was to boot into Mac OS once, reboot, force computer off since it won't reboot, boot into Mac OS, log in, sleep the screen, wake up, log out, log back in, sleep screen and audio would work.

It wouldn't work when booting up after doing a "Shut Down" or if it slept on its own and it crash/rebooted.}

Now that I installed the netkas kernel it seems to be broken, but I still need to run some more tests.

Video

Video works. I get the full resolution at 1680x1050. I used the NVInstaller and selected the 10.5.2 kernel, the Go patch and the 512 MB patch. I have the shut down / restart / sleep problem everybody has.

Touchpad

I have the two finger scrolling working after some tweaking of the settings. One thing of note is that I have an ALPS touchpad but I had to make changes to the settings under the Synaptics section, if I did them under ALPS they would have no effect.

All in all it is working pretty well. I've had some odd issues that I can't find documented in the forums, but they seem to resolve themselves or are not that important.

One of them is that at some point I could not see my volumes on the desktop. I found out that if I logged out and logged back in I could see them. After the netkas kernel upgrade I see them on my first login. I will probably go back to the previous behavior if I restore my previous kernel. Which I guess is the 10.5.2 from NVInstaller.

I also have a quirk with my external USB drive. I am not booting off of it. When I plugged it in it was not detected. After some reading I found that I had to manually load the External USB kext. I don't know why this is not loaded automatically. I also noticed that the external drive is loaded if it is plugged in at boot. I also am not sure if my current drivers are running my USB ports at 2.0 speeds. I am guessing they are, as my external hard drive does not seem to be extremely slow.

I installed iLife 08 and I'm unable to run iMovie, it crashes, and iDVD says that I don't have a supported DVD writer. Oh well.

Making a wishlist on what I would like fixed, I guess it would be something like this:

1. Make Audio consistant without having to do any tricks
2. Fix shutdown/reboot/sleep issue
3. Fix USB quirk

I will definitely spend some time on this and will try to figure this out and read some more. There is still a lot to learn.

Gracias MacGirl and everyone else.

EDIT: Forgot I was going to include the specs of my M1530

Dell XPS M1530
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500
3 GB RAM
Nvidia 8600M GT 256MB
WSXGA+
Dell Truemobile 1490
Bluetooth
ALSP Touchpad

The thing is though that when your are installing the update the AppleIntelCPUManagement.kext is loaded because the Extensions cache is regenerated, so it needs to be erased inmediatly before it will loaded.

But that doesn't happen if you install with Kalyway Update. You can use kalyway Update even on other installations like iATKOS or other.

I will try to modify the sleepwatcher code, it alreaddy could run as a daemon, so a subroutine that check the state of the clamshell could run the already included sleep command.

Meantime I checked my script, it takes very little resources (I checked with Activity Monitor).

I got sleep working by replacing IOUSBFamily.kext, as modified by superhai. However, none of my usb ports are working. Does anyone know if there is a way around this?

EDIT: I did not realize that I was only replacing one .kext file within IOUSBFamily.kext! I just swapped out the whole file - and I was wondering why their size was so different!

So make sure to just replace AppleUSBEHCI.kext with PCGenUSBEHCI.kext, and nothing else!

ok macgirl, i got it to boot with the following

fresh iatkos 1.0ir2, kalyway combo update, kalyway kernel update, then netkas 9.2.0 speedstep w/ shutdown fix, then nvinject v.41 with mobile, 256mb (i DID NOT install the kernel included with nvinject.)

can't reboot/shutdown. it will stall at shutdown/reboot.

@kristoff, did you try reinstalling all other USB kexts? maybe something is not loading.


That is normal, there is no fix for Shutdown/Restart issue for the moment.

ok then.
i don't have any battery indicator. this is what i did. i chose Stock AppleACPIPlatform.kext during iatkos install.

copy the AppleACPIPowerSource.kext.zip that I got from your 1st post (under attachments).

unzip to desktop, copy the .kext file to /system/library/extensions
go into terminal
sudo -s
chmod -R 755 /system/library/extensions/appleacpipowersource.kext
chown -R root:wheel /system/library/extensions/appleacpipowersource.kext

reboot (i dont have a extensions.kext cache anywhere).

for the powermanagement.bundle, i couldnt delete it through finder because of permissions, so i went into terminal
sudo -s
chmod -R 777 /system/library/systemconfiguration/powermanagement.bundle
chown -R "USERNAME" /system/library/systemconfiguration/powermanagement.bundle
then in Finder, delete the powermanagement.bundle

download the powermanagement.bundle that I got from here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=80425
copied the powermanagement.bundle to /system/library/systemconfiguration
go back into terminal
chmod -R 755 /system/library/systemconfiguration/powermanagement.bundle
chown -R root:wheel /system/library/systemconfiguration/powermanagement.bundle

reboot.

I HAVE NOT installed/changed/done anything with AppleSMBIOS.


i did kextstat in terminal and I DID NOT see AppleACPIPowersource.kext listed anywhere. I did see though AppleACPIPlatform.kext (1.1.0) Is that old?

so I:

then i went into terminal
sudo -s
nano /system/library/extensions/appleacpipowersource.kext/contents/info.plist
and change the version numbers inside that file and saved.

it is Extensions.mkext


If you have 1.1.0 AppleACPIPlatform it is not the Stock one, maybe it is overwritten with other package, because the Vanilla 10.5.2 AppleACPIPlatform is 1.2.1

Anyway one the AppleACPIPowerSource.kext is loaded you need to go in the System Prefereces and on Energy Saver pane turn on the battery indicator.

I did get sleep working, and my usb ports are responsive. However, I should add that I had to run this command in Terminal to change ownership for PCGenUSBEHCI.kext:

sudo chown root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/PCGenUSBEHCI.kext

- even after repairing permissions. Worth noting, methinks!

thanks macgirl. you're the best =D

anyways, I figured out after reading about the 10.5.2 update and the PS2 keyboard/mouse thing. I replaced the kexts and my trackpad and keyboard worked again!!

something funnay tho: I got my sound to work, but when I installed the kexts for battery power, my sound died and I cant get it to work no matter how much I replace the ApplehHDA kext. What's wrong? Also, with the power management kext, shutdown doesnt work properly anymore. The only thing that powered down was the screen but not the CPU

and oh, I installed drivers for a wireless dongle, but nothing happens when I plug it in. no new hardware found, no airport, nothing new shows up under network....

The AppleUSBECHI.kext from Superhai does not load?


Never thought that PowerManagement.bundle has something to do with shutdown/restart issue, I will test more configurations...

What USB Dongle do you have, did you run any App to join a wireless network?

I got it working! I used the ACPIPlatform in your first post, macgirl.

Now as for sound...
I went into Extensions, but couldn't find AppleAzalia.kext. I did see AppleAzaliaAudio.kext. I deleted that one.
I also deleted AppleHDA.kext using rm -rf in terminal.

I then used kexthelper to install the new AppleHDA.kext and ALCInject.kext
Sound worked right away. But after restart, it doesn't work! So I run kexthelper again, it works again, after restart, it disappears!

So I install only AppleHDA.kext through kexthelper, and that alone fixes the sound. Until next reboot!

Try the sleep fix

list of kexts I have installed:

AppleHDA
ALCInject
ACPIPS2Nub.kext (renamed this to AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext to get mouse/keyboard to work)
AppleSMBIOS.kext (the one that came with PS2_Batt_Working zip file that was provided in the fix 10.5.2 keyboard issues thread)
AppleACPIPlatform (from the same zip)
NVinject installer

How would I get the sound to work again?

It's an Aztech WLU230USB. OSX sees it as a ZyDAS and when I installed the driver it did not provide any app to connect.

Latest Zydas driver posted here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=689114

im having a problem with the audio driver:
iatkos, kalyway combo/kernel updated to netkas 9.2.0 with speedstep, nvinject .41.
so i use kexthelper to install AppleHDA, and Alcinject. Did delete the Azalia.
Can't get sound anymore...hmm
I do ls -l in /system/library/extensions and I get drwxr-xr-x@ for Applehda, and drwxr-xr-x for Alcinject.also, both seem to be loaded in kextstat, but i seem to be able to freely drag Applehda.kext to the trash without any error...i couldnt do that before.

I wasn't aware that there is an AppleUSBEHCI.kext by Superhai - the only one I have is PCGenUSBEHCI.kext. I deleted AppleUSBEHCI.kext from my system's folder. Sleep and USB are both working, so changing ownership in Terminal, seemed to do the trick.

Is there supposed to be AppleUSBEHCI.kext included with the download from Superhai?

Sorry, yes, here is the installer: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry669969

macgirl, can u take a look at my post about audio problems. applehda i can seem to freely delete, doesnt that mean a permission error?

and it is the only kext that has a @ at the end of its permission.

Did you install with Kext Helper?

tried both ways macgirl. I really appreciate your help.

funny thing is, it used to work (as i said, it worked after i used kexthelper, then it would not work after next startup, and over and over again).

then for some reason while i was trying to fix that, now it doesnt give sound at all! i think the permissions are screwed up?

By the way, thanks to Superhai for modding the usb kext so we have sleep! I was close to selling my vostro and getting a used macbook pro, but with sleep working, it feels more like a real mac!

I was able to make a kext that changes that value, and now it is able to sleep when I close the lid. The problem is now that after coming up from sleep the display driver resets this value. So I need to make a logic that sets it after coming from sleep as well.

Update, now I have added wakeup from sleep capability to my kext and I think it is ready for a beta ride. But remember this is only if you have working sleep but not able to sleep from lid close. It will not work if AC or External Display is connected, as that is per design from Apple. If you want to remove it you can use sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/TurnLidOn.kext and then sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions and a reboot after that.

Hi,
I tried your kext on an Inspiron 9400. sleep comes with lid closing, but unfortunately, i get KP or system freeze after wake up.
System log mention:

Superhai, the kext is working but sometimes at fresh reboot Lappy does not go to sleep.

So I check on Terminal:
ioreg -n IOPMrootDomain | grep AppleClamshellCausesSleep
| | | "AppleClamshellCausesSleep" = No

But after unloading the kext:
ioreg -n IOPMrootDomain | grep AppleClamshellCausesSleep
| | | "AppleClamshellCausesSleep" = Yes

Then I load the kext and stays on "Yes".

Another way to make it change is to manually set it to sleep, so after wake the kext sets AppleClamshellCausesSleep to Yes.

Thank You


sonotone, did you try my script, does it makes a KP also?

Ok, it is made so it sets the value when it starts, 10 seconds after and 30 seconds after the kext is loaded or coming back from sleep. I will add a point 60 seconds after and you can see if it stays. (how long is your boot time on your laptop?)

Let me measure it, last time I did was 25-35 seconds.

BRB

EDIT:
First measure 33 seconds. (all menus loaded an ready to click on any app or menu).

Yes i tried, and it's not causing KP. But your command:

does not work, that what i get:

The script is defenetly working, i tested it directly on terminal.
EDIT: sorry, i forget to remove "&" after .sh
There is a way to get it works with boot?

Can you paste in the kernel panic?

Here is another version which should also activate it after 60 seconds, but it really shouldn't make any difference. And it seem like the powermanagment system is not updating if you are on ac power or not so it is able to sleep also when ac power is connected.

Worked !

Thanks again.

Only 2 more things to remove the pain in the ass (Onboard Ethernet and Restart/Shutdown)

It's seems to work properly with 0.9.1.
Just one KP after installing, but i reboot twice and after few tests, no problems at all.
Thanks for your job, i will post logs if there is a problem.

Thanks Syperhai 0.9.0 seems to be working fine so far on my inspiron 1720. Sleep has been working fine for me for the most part with the only problem being is that sometimes I can't get the bluetooth to restart after sleep.

It now sleeps when I close the lid and restarts when I open it.



Edited to add: I've got the blutooth working a little better after wake by opening the advanced tab in the bluetooth preference and selecting open the bluetooh setup assistant at startup when no device is present. I also set my wireless switch in my bios to turn control my bluetooth only. If it doesn't wake I can just turn it off and back on and it will normally connect.

You guys got a working sleep with the sleep-kernel, not the speedstep one, right?

Macgirl, i found this link that might have helped you with the lid-sleep interaction problem (sorry i'm so late about it!): http://www.semaja2.net/insomniaxinfo

Firstly, Thank you so much macgirl and superhai!

Secondly, I've successed to update in 10.5.2 but I can't have audio. I've tried to reinstall txt with apple HDA patcher but it doesn't work! How should I do?

edit: forget it, that works perfectly!! All update up to date! (Excuse me for my english!)

Everything is perfect

I hope intel drivers will be released soon and I hope that you will find a solution to get reboot/shutdown working! Anyway, THANK YOU ALL ESPECIALLY MAC GIRL!!

Do you know what's exactly the problem with shutdown/reboot or you don't have any idea (excepting that you know it came after graphic kext install)?

By the way, do you know if it's possible to remove .mac icon on the top because I don't see any option speaking about that so I think that specialists like you may know (edit: I've found: You press CTRL or ALT and click on the icon and put it in the trash...!)

How long would it take a noob to get a 90% working install on a M1330? I say 90% because I see there is still no working wireless support for the onboard agn card? Also nothing for the ethernet?

I'm getting iATKOS ver. 1.0ir2.

Thanks for any help, I'm sure I'll be needing it!

I'm probably about to give this a go on my M1330 as well! and likewise any help would be very much appreciated.

I'd like to report something about sleeping.
Have you noticed that after waking up, battery life seems to be very longer?
For me, having put my laptop to sleep all the night, this morning, when I waked up it, battery life said 4h and after half an hour of use, it keeps saying 3h20

Now, I've rebooted and it says 1h40!

So I'd like to know if I'm the only to notice that and it could be a good news for our battery life if that's true!

I think it is because of the calculation. I don't think you will see improved battery life after sleep (unless the CPU wakes up in low power mode with reduced speed).

You may be right, I've done another sleep test after reboot and now it says 2h40 instead of 4h. But when it says 4h, I've noticed that % were decreasing more slowly than now but I'm not very sure since it has only happened one time.
I'll inform you if this happens again

Anyway, good luck for your work with our lappy

Hi! I just tried Photo Booth and it's crashing

It used to work before, although I hadn't used it for a while, so I have no idea what I might have installed that caused this crash.

I have a M1330, iAtkosv1.0i, with all software updates as of today. I have Aperture, Photoshop installed. I *think* I installed the USB fix mentioned in previous posts.

Also, sometimes USB peripherals stop connecting. If they are connected when turn on the laptop, or I connect them within 5 minutes, no problem. But after working for a while, I connect an external Iomega HDD, and it won't mount. I check in the USB tab in System Profiler and it's there, but there's no way for me to access it. Same thing with an iPhone or USB thumbdrive.

Any help is appreciated, and if you need more info I'll try to provide it!

One more thing for you here is PowerManagement.bundle from 10.5.2 in install package. This is for enabling the battery meter. It has some of the modifications done by jaro and keithpk and I have added some more. It is only tested on my Dell XPS M1330, so any other laptop would be on your risk. You should backup AppleACPIPlatform.kext and PowerManagement.bundle before you install. :-) And compiler optimizations was set for core 2 cpus, so if you panic on other CPUS you know why. I'll update that tomorrow or something if anyone needs it. Remember also that battery meter have to be enabled from System Preferences/Energy Saver.

UPDATE Ok here is newer version also v no 3.

Superhai, I think that my "Sleep Display" is reseting the AppleClamshellCausesSleep value to Now.

Is any way to call the subroutine of the TurnLidOn.kext that changes the value?

What I do is unload the kext and the value sets to yes, if I load the kext again it stays on yes.

Hello All,

Just a few notices about your turnlidon patch. Indeed, once it wakes up, my mouse pad doesn't work correctly. Before I sleep, I can tap on it and it will do left click, but as soon as I've put my lappy sleeping, this functionality doesn't work at all. Have you noticed that?
Furthermore, if you sleep by the right way and then sleep by closing your lid, it won't work.

Do you have these problems?

P.S. The long battery life hasn't appeared this morning so I don't know what's happened yesterday

What I think is possible is to make a polling routine, so it sets this value every 30 sec or something. The problem is that with this the display driver also sets this value, and every time it does some initializing it will reset it. The display driver believes that it is a desktop. I will look at the other sources if it is possible to track where it really is being set. Hopefully it is not the nVidia drivers as they are closed source.I don't have that problem. I find that odd, have you other modifications? Are you using vanilla kernel?

Yes I've a modification on my ApplePS2Controller to allow tapping on my pad
I think this is the only one that I have

Hi,

I have 2 questions:

1. I've installed this the applehda.kext to get the sound working, however nothing happens. In the Sound pane I can see that there is now an Microphone and Speakers, but there is no sound.
Anyone know what to do ?

2. In Finder, I cannot Connect to my other PC's ! Once I hit Connect as.... nothing happens, I cannot enter another UserId or Password, however I can see my other PC's.
I get Connection Failed.

And I have Leo4All V2 installed.

Anyone have an idea ?

Thanks for the help.

Micman

@Superhai, thanks. I just tested, I was connected remotely (ssh) let the Lappy turn display off, in that moment the AppleClamshellCausesSleep changed.

@yeye, sometime when I wake up the Lappy I have issues with either the Trackpad or the Keyboard, sometimes is like a key is pressed all the time, sometimes this issues are fixed pressing any key, sometimes I need to put the Lappy to sleep then whe it wakes up everything is ok again.

@Micman, the best patch for sound is the already patched AppleHDA.kext (if you are not using gfx string you also need to install ALCinject.kext) but if you have AppleAzalia.kexts installed sound options will show but wont work, so delete AppleAzalia.kext if it exist.
Here is a picture of how Sound options are shown (Microphone does not work), remember that this is a test kext that Taruga made, probably it will be a better one when Taruga make a new one.

How are you connecting your other PCs. With third party Wireless adapters are attached some network connections are not possible, so use direct IP connection, like smb://192.168.1.123, vnc://192.168.1.124, afp://192.168.1.123 or ftp://192.168.1.123, in Terminal ssh 192.168.1.123

@Macgirl


I don't have an Applezilla.kext.
I installed both, the AppleHDA.kext and the other one , downloaded from your first post on the first page.
The screen you showed is the same as I have, however no sound.
Any other ideas ?

Network is working now, I found a patch in the meantime.

Thanks for the Help, I appreciate that.

Cheers

Micman

EDIT: It's working now, don't ask me why, did an Update of Itunes and the the other Software and now it works, strange.

Sometimes it requires 2 boots or at least 1 sleep.
