hi

so i've installed 10.5.5 on my p35.ds3p and it works quite good.
i also seems to have sleep working, meaning, the screen goes black and i can wake it up from sleep.

however, when i went to sleep on my powermac G5, it seemed powered off, the fan wasnt turning, the HDD wasnt spinning, and the computer appeared off (only the LED "breathed"). it wasnt the hiberniation mode, since i got instantly back the the system without the blurry startup known from the macbooks.

on my hackintosh the fans are still moving, the harddrive i spinning, and the whole system appears running (e.g. after a few hours, it didnt significantly cool down.

is this the normal sleep on every hackintosh or do some hackintosh go to sleep with turned off fans etc?

just wondering if i have "sleep" working or not

Sleep on my badaxe2 system is the same as hibernate on a windows system - memory written to disk and then all activity stopped and power is off (blue light on front panel reminds me it's asleep, not shutdown). System is woken up by moving mouse, hitting the power button or activating a USB device - even switching on the screen which has a USB hub in it brings the system back to life. It takes a few seconds to sleep and wake up as the memory is written and the disk spins up and is read back in. Yours sounds more like standby.

You can change the type of sleep from standby to full sleep and back with the following terminal commands ;

’sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0′ (standby)
’sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1′ (hibernate)
