i installed iatkos with both things underneath it.....so after i installed i got no battery indicater... i installed the power management bundle kext but still no battery indicator what can i do to get this to work

Unless there is something else I need to do other than getting this PowerManagement bundle into the SystemConfiguration directory and rebooting, I haven't been able to get this to work. I see no battery icon and my laptop behaves in whatever mode it booted in i.e. if the AC power was plugged in on boot it will operate at full speed and if it is not plugged in it will operate at much lower speed. I have a Dell 710M running an Intel Pentium-M 755. Any ideas why this is not working?

Thanks,
codeattack

Hey Everyone,

So here is the final version of my PowerManagement.bundle with debug messages removed. For people who are interested in the discussion that occured during the development of this driver, please refer to: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...237&hl=2200

Im looking OLDER versions of this fix ... (without power-saving measures) for testing, can someone put me in the right track....thanks.

Thanks to everyone's help in the original thread for their comments/questions/suggestions, as well as their help testing.
Hi keithpk,

Would like to add my thanks to the growing list of successful patchers.

Patch working with my Sony Vaio VGN-A117s laptop.

Thanks again - Shemozzle.

I was wondering if someone could help advise me. I have 10.5.1 Kalyway installed on Compaq 8240. Most things work OK except I get a strange problem when booting without having the power plugged in. When I boot on battery, the finder loses its mind and I get the spinning beachball and the finder becomes unresponsive. I have to do a hard reset to get it out of it .. can't terminate task from terminal or activity monitor etc ..

When I boot with power supply, everything is fine. If I pull the power supply after booting and happen to be running music in iTunes, the music gets really choppy!

I installed the bundle in this thread. It got me my power icon back. When I try to play with the settings for power in Energy Saver app, it won't save. The Power Adapter is set to custom and the Battery is set to normal mode and I cannot change them. I also deleted the appleintelCPUPowerManagement.kext but no change. It just seems like because the modes are different for power adapter and Battery mode, they act differently but I can't change the settings .. even when I hit the lock/unlock and type in my password.

Any help someone could offer would be greatly appreciated! This and the Intel 2200BG wireless are the only things that don't work right so I can't operate in wireless laptop mode.

Thanks!
Edit ... may have something to do with speedstep after searching around more... will update what I find ...thanks!
Well .. I managed to solve the issue. It WAS indeed speedstep that was locking things up. I had to reinstall cuz I tried to update to 10.5.2 (should have known better). but all is working nicely! So if you have weird issues with locking up on battery mode you know what to do! What a wonderful site this is! Love it! Now I just need to get my wireless working

I replaced this bundle. Yet no battery meter shows up. The system is still detecting AC Power. What am i missing?

installed.. nothing happened... ((

Can someone help me please, in my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, the battery meter stays at 0% and shows "calculating". I have an Intel Pentium M on a centrino chipset.

Thanks!

Hey Everyone,

So here is the final version of my PowerManagement.bundle with debug messages removed. For people who are interested in the discussion that occured during the development of this driver, please refer to: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...237&hl=2200

Overview:
This PowerManagement.bundle fixes many of the issues that people were having with displaying battery time remaining on laptop systems. As many of you already know, Apple is using many of the advanced features of Intels new Core Duo architecture. One of these is the power management features. Therefore, much of the code was not written to support power management on older (ACPI-based) systems. This new bundles basically, adds support for detecting and retriving information from batteries registered using ACPI.

Who Should Use It:
Really this should only affect people who are using laptop systems, as there really aren't any power management features on a desktop. If you are having problems getting time remaining calculations to display properly I recomend trying this new bundle. If you are not having any problems, you are welcome to try it out anyways, but I really see no reason to. In designing the new ACPI support I tried to leave the existing functionality as intact as possible, therefore, I am sort of curious about whether I succeded. Therefore, if someone would like to try installing this on a working systems, I would be interested in hearing how it worked. (However backup your old bundle just in case.)

Installation:

1. Download the PowerManagement.tar.gz file below to your favorite location
2. Un-archive the files. This will leave you with a PowerManagement.bundle
3. Navigate to: /System/Library/SystemConfiguration
4. (Optional) Backup your old PowerManagement.bundle
5. Copy (drag-n-drop) the new bundle into the SystemConfiguration folder
6. When the dialog box pops up, select authenticate and type your admin password
7. Reboot
8. (Optional) For those of you who helped with testing the debug release, please delete /var/log/PM.log

Additionally, for those of you who are interested, source code of the changes has been provided as well.

Thanks to everyone's help in the original thread for their comments/questions/suggestions, as well as their help testing.

Wonderful, Worked on My Toshiba Satellite A200. Is there anyway to make the battery indicator work for the power cable? It's working so far with my Toshiba, not sure if battery indicator is updating or not.

-J.

i can see the battery meter now, but it doesn't seem to automatically update the percentages or time? i guess it should do?

toshiba equium a100-337
kalyway 10.5.2

any idea's

thanks in advance!
