Hello

I have an Acer Aspire 5738Z Laptop working almost fully on OSX 10.6.2 on these specs

 

CPU : Intel Pentium Dual Core T4200 2.00 GHz

RAM : Samsung DDR3 4GB

Graphics : Intel GMA 4500 MHD

Hard Drive : Hitachi SATA 300GB

Wifi : Atheros AR5B91

 

Everything is working except for 2 things which are QE/CI and Sleep

Now for QE/CI i know that i have to wait for a driver or DSDT or EFI injection or a mod for it to work on a GMA x4500

But sleep shouldn't be much of problem i Guess ;) .

 

Now before, if i use to close my laptop hinge or attempt to put to sleep with VoodooPowerMini + SleepEnabler with NativePowerManagement Disabled, my laptop would just crash, no signs of panic, but i had to hard reset the laptop.

 

Now recently i have started working on it and i Enabled Native Power Management while still keeping VoodooPowerMini cause i thought i would still get extra battery life.

Next i have noticed that my UHCI USB were marked as Expansion so i have modified my DSDT with Method DTGP and The USB Built-in fix and now all my USBs are identified as built in.

After this DSDT Modification, Sleep is Partially working, but still not as expected.

If i put my computer to sleep the hard drive, cd drive and wifi turn off, but the screen w/w brightness and cpu fan are still on,Just like it use to do before when it use to crash BUT NOW if i press power my laptop turns back to normal.

 

I have also Tried reinstalling SleepEnabler, But it does not make a difference. I Think that the GMA x4500 might be stalling the sleep procedure but ive seen forum signatures proposing that they have a GMA x4500 with sleep working

 

Is there anyway to get sleep fully working ...any fixes that are worth trying.

Thanks

Bye Bye :D

 

Also for all you Aspire 5738 users that have been trying to install Mac and failed, i will write a tutorial somewhere explaining how i got this far with mac on this laptop :P
