Great info Jon and thank you for doing the leg work too. For some reason I can't get it to work for me I'm not sure I've got everything installed with sleepwatcher even thought I went step by step with their readme file. I'll keep trying, but just had to say thank you.

Is it the setting the fans on boot, or wake from sleep that doesn't work?


To see if sleepwatcer is running at the terminal type
ps auxww | grep sleepwatcher
you should see two lines returned one for the grep command, and one for sleepwatcher itself. if you only see one, its not running.
The sleepwatcher install read me install section isn't explicit about how to copy and install the config files, if you look at the upgrade section it has more detail.

to verify the mapMemoryDriver.kext is installed, make sure you can run nvclock from the command line
/usr/local/sbin/nvclock -F auto -f

Both for some reason. I can tell the kext is loaded (nvclock works) I can manually set and check nvclock using

sudo /usr/local/sbin/nvclock -F auto -f

But not if I use the command you gave me there directly
One thing I noticed that I have different from you is my ect file is not located at /ect its actually at /private/ect does that make any difference. I changed the launchd plist to use the /private/ect location.
this is the return from grep

$ ps auxww | grep sleepwatcher
jeff	   371   0.0  0.0  2435036	524 s000  R+	8:17AM   0:00.00 grep sleepwatcher
$

The plist seems to be loading but it doesn't appear that sleepwatcher is working as seen by:

$ sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.projectosx.nvclockautofans.plist
com.projectosx.nvclockautofans: Already loaded

Thanks again Jon I'll keep ya posted.

Sorry yes, to run at the command lineline you need to sudo. looks like the kext is loaded right.

Looks like sleepwatcher isn't installed right. maybe start again using the upgrade instructions from the readme.
The /etc /private/etc thing should make a difference, on my system they are joined by a symbolic link so are the same actual files.

Got sleepwatcher up and running, I missed a step somehow, and its working setting the fans to auto off of sleep, but isn't setting it on boot.

I made a file using pico in terminal (opened another rc. file and just edited it) I put everything you had in your rc.fansboot is the 60 second sleep required? I dropped it down since it caused the system to take an extra minute to boot.

I've also noticed that my fans no longer show up in my istat menus. My gpu does but my other board fans and board temp (northbridge temp) doesnt show up or are just 0's
Has anyone else noticed this after following Jons instructions?

I still have fan speeds in iStat Menus.
Which slot is your GPU in; PCIEX16_1, PCIEX16_2 or PCIEX8_1?

Yes so have I.

The rc.fansboot file needs to be seperate, and run from launchd so won't affect boot times. It sounds like you may have added the command to a script that's being run 'in line' as part of the boot process.
I put the sleep in becuase without it I got an error saying the driver wasn't loaded.
Cheers

Pcie16_1 (the first slot in the board, unless OSX see's them differently) I'll uninstall everything and see if that makes a change,

I'll double check but I did setup a launchd plist exactly as you did and put it in my LaunchDaemons folder

[d00d]

Pcie16_1 (the first slot in the board, unless OSX see's them differently)

Would you try it in PCIEX16_2 to see if you get power management?

[Sidewinder33]

I'll give that a try in a bit, I restored from a backup and still no fans, weird.

***Update***
I got everything up and going (auto fan setting and system fans) It appears that me modifying the AppleGraphicsPowwerManagment.kext causes it to loose the fans and temps. I ran the combo updater after installing sleepwatcher and nvclock and my temps come back. I'll continue to experiment and update if i find anything else.

[night_knight28]

can this update solve my problem with 8400m gt? i've been spending days looking for this to work. and it only works in snow leopard 10.6.4 right? i'm still in 10.6.2. i have issues in upgrading from 10.6.2 to 10.6.4.

[debutant0219]

Radeon HD4850

before update :



after update :




Looks like good improvement but still need 10.6.2's ATI4800Controller ATIFramebuffer and ATISupport for dual screen

Would you mind sharing those files please? I did install this update and it killed my hackintosh install, now I can only get into the OS with -x command.

Thanks

Thanks for all your work seem to be working fine.

Hi
your sig says you have 2 SLI grpahics cards. Presumably only 1 works under OSx?

No they both work not in sli but multi display no problem.

[jaymz60]

Updated to Chameleon-2.0-RC5-r530.pkg and latest fake smc kext everything working. Also updated to latest video drivers
and 10.5 beta added video card id to apple graphics power management kext. Xbench openGL faster

Any problems encountered with an nVidia 8400GS on a 10.6.4 system ?

Hi eMatoS,

I'm just using basic Graphics Enabler, so that should work no problem right ? For info i installed iAtkos s3 v2 with combo update to 10.6.4.

Cheers,
