hi all, i'm going to test this if i can with my system (see specs in my sign): i have a desktop and i miss sleep function. the most of other feature work, so this would be one of the last fixes for my system.
please tell me if i can try.
bye.

Will do more work on this tommorow as its a day off from college. I have some interesting things to test

. and fabioxx use the installer made by paulicat

I started a thread for those like me whose machines video doesnt reinit after wake from sleep:

oh it is working perfectly..

the fans kick in when the temp. reaches 49 or so..
temperature usually around 45

Depending on the load, the cpu speed modifies 1.33Ghz, 1.67Ghz, 2.0Ghz..with the dynamic setting.

no go on the sleep though.

Eskurza: what is your problem with sleep? Does the display not come back on wake? We're discussing that particular issue here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=44283 if you're interested

Exactly the same problem. I have been following that thread as well. I have network access to the drives upon wake.. no screen though

For those who are currently testing, try this kext (just unzip, repair permissions and kextload, or put it to startupitems and repair its permissions then reboot)
(this has throttling enabled using ACPI, not for brain dead bios's)

please post a dmesg after its loaded, and a sysctl -a | grep freq

Mar 6 2007, 01:14 AM

Have you repaired its permissions?

chmod -R 755 <kext>
chown -R root:wheel <kext>
kextload <kext>

If it works with the older kext, no need for this

yeah i repaired the permissions. The first kext was working. this one giving me the error:

kextload: extension ACPICPUThrottle.kext appears to be valid
kextload: kmod_control/start failed for com.OSx86Project.kext.ACPICPUThrottle; destroying kmod

I tried multiple times to load the kext as you suggested. didn't help.

Anyways I am happy with the previous pkg. Just testing out the different kexts

Mar 6 2007, 03:47 AM

Thats cool, the other one uses Direct Drive to control the speed, this one talks through the ACPI table, not supposed to work with everyone
Thanks for testing

The fsb fix, so it doesnt leave your fsb at 100mhz which is a performance killer.

Mar 6 2007, 01:46 PM

Sorry I've been away folks, but after spending many nights on getting the code into the kernel I had to take a step away from coding and relax for a bit. I havent looked at the code much since I released it, only made a couple small changes (removed the annoying -.- crap from dmesg for which I'll post a kernel build soon.
I've been using mifki based tree on my laptop because I don't need all the emulation stuff for my laptop, also, it doesnt have the annoying kext loading crap in dmesg either. If anyone knows how to get rid of that let me know and I'll make a build with that crap removed.
Keep up the good work on the kext Kiko. Hopefully you can get one that will do coreduo and core2duo together.
Be back soon...

Kiko

Mar 6 2007, 11:32 PM

if you have sse2, you have to wait. And Carpao, i'll put a kext for core duo users up tonight, i think i know why it is failing. In the meantime, try the directdrive kext (unless your using that already)

paulicat

Mar 7 2007, 03:54 AM

For the record folks, I've already had confirmed coreduos working perfectly (thinkpad A60) with the throttle kext that is included in my installation package.
My packages kext does not support core2duo's however.

Kiko

Mar 7 2007, 04:04 AM

Or use paulicats if you have a core duo, link on page 3

naldo

Mar 7 2007, 05:04 AM

So do any of these fix sleep. I'm not really too worried about speedstep, but sleep would be a godsend.

I have a T7200 if it matters (Core 2 Duo, 2ghz)

Or use paulicats if you have a core duo, link on page 3

I think that I tried with both...
the kernel is the same right?
and about the /Library/StartupItems
in one case there is a ACPICPUThrottle
in the other case there is ACPICPUThrottler

right?

oh kiko, also every once in a a while the kext fails to load at the startup,

reboot fixes the situation.

how to disable ACPICPUTrottle?

only remove a kext?

yeah just delete the kext (or the folder) from the startup items..

/Library/StarupItems to be exact

Kiko...

I have a Core Duo (not core 2 duo)

The following failure message depends on that?

CODE

PS I have both cores enabled...

uhm...
I don't know what changed because I'm pretty sure that I tried both beofre...
however Now I have the following status

I started the Application CPUThrottle, and it presents the three possible values (including the P3 wrong one). I set the minimum to P1 value and maximum to P0 value and it seems (from its status taht effectively it is working...)

in the console are presents many messages (some time of Filed switch, sometimes of succeeded switch).

the bus speed results set to 100Mhz :-(

Finally I have the impression that if the Application CPUThrottle2 is not executed the freq is fixed (from teh sysctl output)

So I have many doubts

what means that CPU1 fails? (I have both core enabled!)
in the console the messages refers always inly to CPU0 about trhottling...

you can fix ur bus speed by getting the last kext i posted, called Direct Drive, and im still trying to find out why it only throttles one cpu.

Where is the new version? I made search for Direct Drive and went to your profile and didn't find anything.

BTW, if the picture in your profile is you--use Photoshop to erase the little mold you have in the thigh. Use the STAMP tool, very useful.

BE CAREFULL I'M LOOKING FOR MAKE IT DETERMINISTIC... BECAUSE IT IS NOT CLEAR....

I'll try it....

but meanwhile I have a (partial) good news for the sleep...
I have a M400

with paulicat kernel... I thought to have the common problem of not wake up of the system...
but actually I noted that after the wake up I have a black screen with first the cursor and then the coloured wheel (not spinning)...

it was possible for me:
- move the cursor,
- connect remotely by ssh

but the screen stays black...

One time I leave the machine untouched and after more or less one minute I saw the form for the password and immediately the machine returned in sleep mode without possible interaction...

I wake it again and tried to blindly enter the password...
nothing happened,

BUT again after more or less one minute, again I see the password form and this time it didn't disappear and the value was inserted...
All I had to do was to press the OK button and I had my machine ready to work.

I repeat this several time (so that now I'm able to have my machine woke up in just a minute) It is not perfect... but it is just something.

At this point I have one question...
This is the "soft" sleep... I know that there exists also the availability of a "hard" sleep (or hibernation...).
In the past I deleted a file from /private/var/tmp that was named something like sleep.image because I didn't want to waste 2 GB of disk for something that I cannot use...
So the question is... is it possible to have hibernation too? what are the steps?

I started a discussion thread for the no wake from sleep problem: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=44283

I will outline my findings there. Sounds like you may be on to something...

As for hibernate, this is something i've been wondering too...

If you search that page for the word 'hackintosh' you see someone reporting it working on his hack.

might try this myself
