Sleep works if u :
jas 10.4.8 install.
jas 10.4.9 combo upgrade.

I dont know if the video cards affect anything, but i use NvidiaEFI 1.0 for my 7900gs.

Then install the paulicat kernel, and sleep/resume works fine.

With the netkas kernel, sleep works, but the resume locks the display up, no keyboard, etc, might be able to still ssh in, though i don't know.

I'd really like to dig more into the display reinitializing issue, where the display goes to "sleep" but when u move a mouse, all it does is go from black, to back lit black.

If anyone has any ideas i'd be glad to help debug.
cos

I got pretty much everything working the only thing that I cant is the bluetooth. I have a Dell Inspiron 6400. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting it to recognize it? Thanks

Do you have revision A00 or A01 of the dell 1500 card?

And does anyone have A00? i just ordered one on ebay but i didnt realize there was two different versions. Does it suck?

Two quick things.

For those who are using the Sleep Trick to enable the second core (like I am now), hitting sleep yourself can be kind of a pain.. I'm using the following method to automate it.

Install Dockables! 1.0.3 Here is the Link
(it's freeware)

One of the dockable items is Sleep. You can then go to System Preferences->Accounts->Login Items (for your account). Add the application Sleep from the Dockables folder to your list of items.

This will then automatically send your computer to sleep as soon as it boots and logs you in. You can then just wake it up and be ready to go. The only downside is if you just log out of your account and log back in... it's going to sleep again. But I never logout so this wasn't an issue for me. This really works best for those who only have 1 user account.

Just a quick question.. and I'm NOT promising anything... but are there enough people using the 1505/6400/1705/9400, that if I were say put together a special install disk, it would be of use to you guys complete with different install options for different hardware?

Or even just a special post install package?

Right now my time is being taken up in iDVD doing some work for the girl but when that's done I'm gonna need a new project since I can't work on EFI at the moment anyway.

hi,

can anyone tell me how to change the resolution to 1440x900. thx

Shortyman87

so what i need for that trick? can i do it with osx 10.4.8? Which kernel should i use?

i would try it, but iam afraid, that after booting up the screen stays black and i cant get it back to normal...

That sounds like an interesting idea.. Flashing the video bios..... Might try that out....

Hello. How about the new upgrade 10.4.10? Can I upgrade my mac osx 10.4.9 on my Inspiron 9400 to this new version? Is better? Is worst?

I tried to upgrade to 10.4.10 (Inspiron 1505/6400) but I am always stuck with a black screen shortly before the Login-Window usually comes up. The screen shortly flashes in blue, but then goes dark again. Only replacing my extensions-backup and old mach_kernel solved the problem.

Did anyone with a similar notebook (GMA950) ever manage to upgrade to 10.4.10? What could be the problem? Incompatible loginwindow.app or GMA950-kext?

Ok, just saw in another thread that the problem with 10.4.10 on GMA950-Dell's might be related to AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext.

Well, I *was* the problem (I just successfully tried and am finally running 10.4.10). So when you upgrade to 10.4.10 on a GMA950-Dell, make sure that you replace AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext with an older 10.4.8 or 10.4.9 version.

also, have you ever been able to use the sleep trick on yours to get both cores working? i can't seem to sleep and wake up appropriately with mine.

macdotnub- some people have reported problems with cd drives not mounting, etc. all of this worked fine with your 10.4.10 install? also, have you ever been able to use the sleep trick on yours to get both cores working? i can't seem to sleep and wake up appropriately with mine.

Just out of curiousity has anyone heard anything new with Prasys' work that should help with the second core issue.

System Label: Inspiron 9400/E1705

Problem: Update - Software/BIOS
Operating System: Windows XP
Problem Description:

Not applicable, read description.

The hard-disk in my laptop is NCQ and AHCI compatible with your ICH7-M board that is present in the Inspiron 9400/E1705, but the very latest BIOS (A08) does not have a feature to enable AHCI.
This is a very serious issue for potential customers using your laptop for Linux and Audio/Video Production, as they will need to take advantage of their hard-disk's maximum capabilities, but it would seem you are purposely limiting this.

There have been many complaints on your forum and also amongst a few communities I am a member of.
Do you ever plan to add this standardized feature into the BIOS, as many of your competitors already allow this.

I would really appreciate if the AHCI issue could be raised to your engineers, as this is a very important feature and SHOULD be addressed.

Also, regarding the Dell 1500 Wireless card and Vista Ultimate, have any steps been taken to fix the audio popping issue that has been causing literally hundreds of users serious problems?

Please get back to me about this if you can.

Regards,

Pawel.


Not possible to troubleshoot this issue as it is a BIOS limitation.
