offall Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Just add few more things to my original post (see upper part of this post), I can cofirm that the AppleACPILPC is loaded. but the speedstep seems still not working. but it's hard to know since I have no way to tell expect the behavior of cpu fan I (and seems most people on this thread) doesn't have a objective measure of the speedstep behavior A tool to monitor real time frequency/VID/PID measurement will be really handy to see the effect of speedstep control any suggestions? cues?

trexplorer Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) Progress !! Installed Paulicat kernel w ACPIthrottler. I can put my laptop to sleep (from menu) and my screen "wakes up". I have never seen this result from 10.4.4 to 10.4.8. Unfortunately system is "frozen" after screen on and I have to do a hard reboot. Also tried without ACPIthrottler in startup folder with same result. Also tried removing "keithpk power management bundle" w same result. Notice one post saying they have this working on a dell w NVidia graphics ... Anyone else with a Dell 6400 get this working ...? Cheers ... Dell 6400 Core DUO T2300 (1.86GHz) GMA 950 graphics 10.4.8 w semthex beta8 sf9 or paulicat kernels Edited February 22, 2007 by trexplorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulicat Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 trexplorer: I use keithpks powermanagement bundle also, it works for me...however, it might take a little while before it fully wakes (I've heard upwards of 5 minutes). For reference, my wakes within a minute... offal: Its pretty easy to monitor temp, google Temperature Monitor and get/install bresinks app. How I know that its working (besides doing sysctl -a | grep curfreq) is that my temperatures float at 55C rather than without speedstep they are always over 62 and climbing. Without speedstep my fan comes on every 40 seconds, and I get about 1.5 hours of battery. With speedstep my fan does not come on unless Im stressing the cpu and I get about 2.75 hours of battery life. All in all, its a pretty noticeable difference between the two. ppan: easiest well to see if everything is installed and working properly is to do sysctl -a | grep throttle in Terminal. If everythings working proper, and your cpu is generally idle, when you run that command it will give you a value that will be less than your cpu's max as the curfreq, and also a list of available frequencies. Ill be back as soon as possible, but in testing a new kernel with sleep mods, and being a little tired, I've pooched my laptops install. Thankfully, I don't do development work on there anymore and all the source is safe and sound. I might not be available on irc or here for the rest of today. Paulicat.

paulicat Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) haribo: AMD is planned, but not working currently... trexplorer: Bloody Dell laptops I really think their bioses are the cause for the majority of the problems...not sure what else I can do for them... naldo: there should be a link in the channel topic for the latest manual install version. Or, if you want to try Okik's installer he posted just above here in this thread. Keep you posted when I get my laptop working again... By the way, any mod wanna make this a sticky seeing as how this is the only 4.8 kernel/thread going on for speedstep? Paulicat.

Which is great!! Also It does seems that my fans are slowing down. By the fan noise. I installed Temperature Monitor as Paulicat was saying and the temperature for the CPUs stays at 53-54C. Once it reaches 60-64C the fan stars spinning and the temperature drops. Then they slow down or shut off. But this seems like a never ending cycle. It seems is 0% fan or 100% fan. So it goes like this fan on for like 10 minutes then off for like 10 minutes.. then repeat. I have a Core Duo Processor, CPUThrottle seems only to be working on one core? Thanks for the great work. I have been waiting for this forever. I have not tried the sleep function yet. But crossing my fingers Edited February 22, 2007 by ppan76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppan76 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) Here is my result with sleep. I dont see any changes to the laptop sleep function. The screen goes blank and I am unable to wake the computer up. It also seems the fan goes to 100% when trying to go to sleep. And it also seems to be inconsistant. My notebook has a keyboard shortcut to put the laptop to sleep (FN+F5). The laptop seems to go to sleep (HD, Screen and FAN). Then after about 1 minute it will wakeup. Yes the screen comes back, wireless comes back, but I cant do anything. Mouse and keyboard not responding. And sometimes it just decides not to wake.

munky Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Stickied as requested. I'm really hoping to find a solution to my particular sleep issue. The machine appears to sleep and then wake normally, but the monitor never powers on. Weirdly, the machine will respond to ping, ssh etc - I can remotely login. I try to connect via VNC, and while it does connect, the window remains black. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analog Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Ok - still can't wake up (played around a bit and waited for 5 minutes). Same issue - computer is "awake" except for the screen. Ah well. Paulicat: after using the "syscnl -a" command, I found that the original DES kernel only shows the max-min frequencies as my max and I was "always running at that frequency" (outside of BIOS handling things without OSX knowing it, perhaps). I reinstalled your kernel and it switches between 1.3GHz and 1.66GHz (I've run it under idle and load and it definitely is switching states), so that does seem to be acting nicer for my install I'll have to actually run the comp. under heavy load with both kernels and ignore my battery estimates for now to determine which will win. I do have 2 questions though, and I appologize in advance for asking. I've spent about an hour searching the forums to no avail: 1) as per the question above, I noticed my ram is also being detected as DDR instead of DDR2. Does this matter? If so, how can I fix this? 2) my system's true FSB frequency is 667MHz (max, with 553MHz DDR2 installed). Applying the "divide by 4" rule, my FSB should be set at 166MHz for 667MHz or 133MHz for 553Mhz. That being said, "syscnl -a" shows my fsb is 100MHz. Am I losing performance here? If so, how do I fix this? I used the "fsb=133" in my com.apple.Boot.plist, but it still boots into 100MHz FSB. Thanks! I'll report back with actual battery times soon!

mifki Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 To Control the frequency use the included CPU Throttler app in my installer, you can either set it to dynamic or manual, (dynamic changes your frequency according to your cpu load, and manual lets you set it youself). Also, Bresinks temperature montior is weird on my computer,. When i had old 10.4.4 SMBios installed i always got temp raitngs of 45C (where it should be) using new paulicats smbios i get ratings of 52C (so most likely just a 10C bias), just keep that in mind.

paulicat Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) Theres something very weird going on there. Im going to test out the kext thats in that link, cause I got a strong feeling that is NOT the kext I've distributed. I'll report back as soon as I test... Paulicat. EDIT: As I suspected, that is NOT the kext I distributed with my kernel. I'll be making a package shortly with my kernel and my modified kext. Ill update this post with a url shortly.

mifki Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 paulicat, the kext in my installer, was not the one you distributed, i had to edit it a bit to make it work on my Core 2 Duo's, it also worked on all my other Pentium 4's. (3.0ghz sse3) and on my Core Duo laptop. I can make a pkg with the kext u distributed in it as well, if thats what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulicat Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Ok, well heres an installer of exactly what is on my system right now. http://tinyurl.com/26emuu Okik, can you tell me what you modded (pm or irc if you prefer) , because I had to mod it to make it work with 4.8 in the first place...

frankietabs Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Okik, what temp are you getting off your laptop with speedstep? I am getting 65 at idle and it goes to about 74 when using the computer. Mine is a Core 2 Duo. paulicat, the kext in my installer, was not the one you distributed, i had to edit it a bit to make it work on my Core 2 Duo's, it also worked on all my other Pentium 4's.

mifki Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 for my core 2 duo, i get 53C reported (but take 10C off that for bias) and it = 43C. I think bresink adds a couple of C to it, because 74C is crazy, that'd burn a chicken. If you can, load up the cpu heaps in Mac OS X, then look in ur bios (if u have a heat sensor) Paulicat, i'll try get to irc this afternoon, as here (at college, we have a firewall). If i miss you i'll send you a PM, but basically its just the source code off niall's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulicat Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Okik, can you pop in irc now? Im curious to know what you changed? Cause I can tell you you missed one thing in the kext that I found even before I started working on the kernel. Lets swap code dude... Paulicat.
