If you don't have the option en also don't have the scratches, I prefer yours. All outputs are working. Could you please share your HDA en prefpane? And I always use Kext Utility 2.4.2 to restore rights. Ill check out Kext helper. Just updated to 1.6.6.. no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prefpane is not working with your vHDA. oh yeah, only one of two is working, thats a mapping problem i guess, every solution that i have found gave me other problems so i am sticking with this one. btw, my battery life is a bit reduced, are you happy with your battery manager? how much time do u get at half brightness? I am unable to get over 1:30h without reducing the brightness to the minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unable to get over 1:30h without reducing the brightness to the minimum. I'm sticking to this one also, work great and don't use the second output anyway. My battery is almost dead. Windows and OSX complain that I have to replace it. Get up to one hour. My brightness is 100% 24/7. FN+ UP or DOWN does change the brightness. The OSX slider in System Preferences doesn't work. I'm using AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext, seems to work fine.. AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext.zip Ive found a working prefpane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDMi hasn't worked since 10.6.4 there are 2 solutions for hdmi. simple one: use a hdmi-dvi adapter and it will work complicated one: there is a guy who wrote a lil' dsdt patch for 8600m gs, makes the hdmi work again but ruins a lot of things... u can always try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vexir Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 My laptop is supposed to go into standby when its close to low battery inside Windows 7, I'm dualbooted and the Mac OSX install works fine as far as I know. The problem I'm having right now is that the screen fades away but the laptop itself doesn't actually go into standby. No combination of key presses or power button presses can force the screen to come back or make the laptop go into standby as it should, I just can't see anything at all. It's unfortunate because every time this happens I have to hard reset my laptop and lose all my open applications/work. It's been a while since I did the installation (almost 6 months) so I don't remember the details but if there's any information you need I'm sure I can provide it. Thanks!

Thanks! have you checked if u have the correct dsdt.aml? did it ever work or was it always faulty? I had once a problem with sleep function because of an unco-oping kext it was a sdhc reader kext (voodoosdhc.kext), is it possible that you are using something like that? can u post at least ur kexts and such? oh and when the battery is running out the system tries to go into a deepsleep (hybernation) which doesn't work... (which means that u gotta hard reset the computer to let it run again when the battery runs out in standby) is this for sleep in every occasion or only when the battery runs out, sorry if i am misinterpreting anything but its 3 o'clock n i'm a lil tired so i'll check it again tomorrow...

Vexir Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 As far as I know this problem only started happening a few months ago. I don't remember what behavior was like before that. As for whether it happens every time, no it only happens when the computer is about to run out of battery. In Windows, if I hit the power button, it goes to sleep as it should. Here's a shot of everything in my Extra folder. I'm pretty sure 90% of it came from this thread. Let me know if you need anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexir Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Oh also, I'm running 10.6.5 right now - will running software update to .7 or whatever it is now cause any problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effatum Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Oh also, I'm running 10.6.5 right now - will running software update to .7 or whatever it is now cause any problems? no no problems on my side... what happens is that when your battery ends the sleep mode will not hold... it crashes... is it possible that your battery is dying? I havent found any working solution to my actual situation with the use of my kexts and dsdt, there is a half working solution for getting the deepsleep mode working.... I suggest you check that... check on that... if you find any solutions share thnx havent had any other sleep problems yet... your kexts seem fine... you should be sleepin correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexir Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 It's strange. My battery is definitely dying - both Windows and OSX say to replace it. I have a replacement coming soon. OSX doesn't put the computer to sleep, it just straight up power fails because the battery went way out of charge. Windows will turn the screen off but not sleep it - and in addition to that not allow the computer to be slept (I think there's some kind of prompt on screen because I get the little ping if I press a key) Either way I ordered a new battery and I'll update you when that arrives. Does sleep work the way it should for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
