Wow. Thanks! I didnt think this was possible yet. I'll try it in a few minutes and let you know how it went.

Now all we need is full res

Great job! It works flawlessly with my Compaq V2000.



My parents just bought a mac, and they're taking classes at the apple store on the weekends. My dad told the guy about me being able to run osx on my intel laptop without any hitches. The appleman, of course, denied that it was possible.

Looks like im going in with my dad on the next day I have off to do a little showing off.

Glad I'm not alone here, I'm witnessing the same problem on my Presario M2000 notebook.

The bundle works perfectly on my old gericom/complal/toshiba/... ACL10, but does not on my Acer 1692 wlmi.
ther, it only shows an empty battery icon and keeps calculating. It does not detect wether the power cord is plugged or not. Oh, and I've lost the processor speed setting from the control panel I had in 10.4.3.

[Thorvald]

Not working on my Dell X300.

- It does show a battery icon in the menu bar but with an "X" through it.  No Batteries Available.
- Tried reboot, unplugging and plugging in battery, fixing permissions, etc.
- Tried unplugging power adapter.

Any things I can do to help narrow it down or assist in updating the driver?

[lazetime]

Great work putting this together!  The battery meter works quite well (despite sometimes showing 102% charge...weird), but seems to be dead on when plugged in and not.

Screen will sleep when I set it (15 mins), but if I go to the Apple Menu and select Sleep, or close the lid, it'll go to sleep (pulsing power light and all), but never wake up.  Well, not 100% sure of this.  When I open the lid, hit the power button... the HD spins up, my DVD drive spins up... like it's coming out of sleep.  But the screen stays pitch black.

So, an improvement from before (where I couldn't even access any power management stuff), but still having quirky issues.  Is there anything else I can try, to help figure this out?

Thanks again,
