Thank you for your reply.

I have 3 questions:

1)The ACPICPUThrottle v1.01 works well I think, but when I work without power supply (only with batteries) the laptop work slow, and sound works bad. And when I plug power supply again, I work slow until restart (with power supply, of course).

2)I use the autostart version, Can I use the GUI to config the application? Where is the GUI? I have the three files.

I need the two features: CPU change speed and precise battery metter, and for this I installed both.

Thank you.

Greetings.

does this kext work with 10.4.7? It stopped loading after I did JaS's update.

It works for me on 10.4.7, but i've a clean system, just try to reinstall it

Not working on my Fujitsu S6230. Sits there saying "Calculating..." and won't update charge % no matter what I do.

thanks

The update by default replaces the PowerManagement.bundle with the standard one. What I have gotten used to doing is copying the patched bundle to my desktop before updating then recopying it over after an update. The patched bundle works fine with 10.4.7.

Yea i guess. I thought it disabled it or something because I put it back in and it worked. I didn't think it had actually replaced it because all of the file modification dates were the same as the edited version.

First of all, thanks for you're efforts. It's seems that you've already helped to a lot of people.
My english wasn't so good but i'll try to explain what happened to my laptop.
I have the laptop described on my signature with OSX 10.4.7. I have tried to get ACPI because of the noise of the fans and i have downloaded from this forum and installed three things:
- ACPICPUThrottle_v1.02_autostart.tar
- PowerManagement.tar
- BatteryTimeRemaining.c

Now, i have the battery icon at the top of my bar, but i still heard the sound of the fans all the time and my battery will die in less than an hour. I wonder if you please could help me to solve this and make my Apple's transition even more delicious.

I send here one of the outputs that i've seen on the posts (for my machine, of course):

panchito:~ alcapone$ sysctl -a | grep
hw.cpukern.exec: unknown type returned
hw.cpufrequency = 1067000000
hw.cputype: 7
hw.cpusubtype: 4
hw.cpufrequency: 1067000000
hw.cpufrequency_min: 1067000000
hw.cpufrequency_max: 1600000000
panchito:~ alcapone$

Well everything worked for me just fine. I loved having the icon availible again making it easy to change my settings at will. Is the DVD problem ever going to be addressed? If not then I won't be able to use it, I have to have my DVD capability. Has anyone found a fix?

I would post my log files, but they look just like the others people have posted with this problem, no need to repost them.

Thanks for you hard work, you did a fantastic job with this project.

Please excuse me if my question has already been answered but I was wondering wether this bundle - being ACPI related - could help me to turn off properly my Hackintosh which is build on an Asrock 775Dual-915GL mobo.
It seems ACPI isn't handled as it should be in this case, because plugged USB devices prevent OS X to fully shutdown.
Thx for advices.

Thank keithpk for the super job.
It work great for my system.
How accurate the calcution of the time remaining?

Hello!

This solved my problem with AC/DC power detection on my Acer TravelMate 4202WLMi.

Thanks a lot...

thanks this works great in a dell latitude 110L with 10.4.7 update

wow!!! thanks alot dude! works wonderful on my ASUS z63a notebook

Working on Gateway M280 tablet pc, running JaS OSx86 10.4.7. Thanks a lot for this great release. This time it does provide up-to-date information on my power status.

The only problem I am having is that the insomnia method stopped to work. I am not sure if it happened after I installed this bundle or the 10.4.7 update, but if anyone here knows how to get this working again, please let me know. I am using the insomnia.zip method on the /Library/StartupItems and it did work for me before. Now it does not, so any advice is welcome.

Hi,

since I´ve updated to 10.4.7 my Powermanagement didn´t work too. With 10.4.6 it was working...

x50:~ habib$ sysctl -a | grep hw.cpu
kern.exec: unknown type returned
hw.cpufrequency = 2130000000
hw.cputype: 7
hw.cpusubtype: 4
hw.cpufrequency: 2130000000
hw.cpufrequency_min: 2130000000
hw.cpufrequency_max: 2130000000

Works Great!

Thanx!

Onlything missing now is Wireless- HEADS UP!

I have a Compaq X1000 laptop running MacOS 10.4.7 (Upgraded from JaS 10.4.6).

It is a thrill having a Batter Meter back again! The only think I cannot do on this laptop is close the lid while is it running (locks up). This Symptom showed up after 10.4.6 (10.4.3 seemed okay as I vaguely rememember).

Anyways, Great job on this bundle! Battery Meter rocks.

Hi,

Is it working with MAC OS X 10.4.3? And how can install this new Powermanagement on my Acer Travelmate 4002WLMi?

Thanks

I am not sure if it works for that version of Mac, but for the install part check this page here.

Worked great on my Thinkpad x41 with 10.4.6! THANKS!!!!
I am really starting to like Mac OS X! I never used it before but I love the Unix with a good GUI!

I have a hp dv1520 and I didn't have a battery meter at all, in fact my sys profile didn't even show a battery installed. After I used this I now have a battery in sys profile and I can get the meter and percentages, but it just says calculating when I switch it to time.....In all honesty thats still a step up from not having it all...so thank you very much

Great work!

haven't tested dvd play but i used vlc anyways!

Thanks alot for all the hard wordwor keithpk. It works great on my Dell D800. I was wondering though have you given any thought to adding in low battery error messages?

since upgrading to 10.4.7 i seem to have lost the battery icon. where do i put the batterytimeremaining file to bring it back?

thanks,

Pretty sure I copied the PowerManagment.bundle over again after upgrading to 10.4.7, but the battery monitor isn't back, so I don't know if the driver needs updating or not.

*EDIT*

I re-downloaded the .bundle and applied it and the battery meter works now and so does the remaining power calculation.

After updating to 10.4.7 (JaS) I lost the battery icon. I copied again the bundle, I got back the icon, but it won't show battery level anymore. It would detect when battery/AC but that is about all it does. "Calculating..." takes forever. Battery Juice or other widgets also don't work...

Works beautifully on my compaq v4000! Thanks!

you're right, i just needed the bundle to be copied over again and it was fine. laptop seems to last 12% longer on battery power too!

Would this driver solve not being able to properly enter and leave sleep (stand by) on desktops? Thanks!

Hello,

When I install this, and restart the computer nothing loads up. I remember at one point it did work, but now it doesn't at all... I'll look through this post..

THanks

This doesn't work on my Acer, though it may be because I'm using 10.4.7 as someone else seemed to have the issue using it as well.

Perhaps a patched version is needed?

The battery icon is shown in the taskbar,but always 0%.
I'm using Acer Aspire 1692 WLMi

Does not work with my Acer TravelMate 4002. Installing the bundle and restarting does not change anything at all.

Hey DaniFilth, I'm using too an Acer Travelmate 4002WLMI and I have the same problem with my battery meter. Witch version are you using of Mac OSX?

I've installed 10.4.6 and updated to 10.4.7 with the JaS update.

integrating this great bundle into a new release of JaS' 10.4.7 would be great. anyone has it working on 10.4.7? thanks

great!
thank you!
works fine.

Any way to hack hibernate into working? This is the one feature that I am sorely, and the only reason I don't use OSX all the time. Anyone making any headway there? This power management bundle works great with my poorly-built Dell D505. It faithfully shows batt percentage and time remaining, but not being able to use sleep (or more importantly hibernate) is really holding back my system.

This works great on my Acer TM2414WLMI with OS X 10.4.7 from the latest JaS 10.4.7 Disk. Thanks

The weird thing is that, sleep sort of works now. When I close the screen down it goes to sleep and wakes up perfectly but the next time I do it the display stays black but the hard drive appears to be doing something?

tossed it on the new gateway mx6214 and it works perfect under .4/.5/ and .7

Works great, thanks

hi guys,

this program work in pc desktop? my Pc sleep but dont wekeup any idea for solve this problem?

thank for all

Working fine on Inspiron 5150

Thanks!

Getting the 'you do not have sufficient privileges' message when trying to move the bundle.

Probably a real noob question, but how do get past this? Go easy on me!

Does the dialog box give you an Authenticate button? If so, click it and give your password. Be sure to repair permissions afterward. Otherwise, you will have to use the Terminal with sudo.

it gave me an error message about not having sufficient privlidges for powermanagment.bundle when i tried to replace old file, any ideas?

^ delete the old bundle then move the new one.

I installed on the Acer TravelMate 4202WLMi with 10.4.7

It works. I don't know how accurate it is but it works.

Thanks Guys!

On my desktop, I have configured the BIOS to use the power button as sleep and it works perfectly. Give it a try if everything else has failed.
