Can your machine go to sleep, and does it wake back up? It seems most of us have some degree of trouble with sleep, ranging from system freeze to insomnia. Lately there have been posts of successful sleep/wake with 10.4.5.

 

Post your luck with sleep, and the hardware and system configuration you are using. Maybe we can identify supported hardware and workarounds for systems that cannot sleep. Thanks!

As of 10.4.5 sleep has been working consistently for me (whereas, before, it would work probably less than 50%). However, a bug with laptops and OS X trying to broadcast to two monitors causes annoyances (a slowdown when trying to bring the display back) that make it less than ideal.

 

ACPI related, my batter monitor doesn't work (shows the value/status of the battery at boot, and never updates).

I could sleep in 10.4.3 but waking would often reboot the computer.

finally got 10.4.5 running last night. sleep now seems to either restart the computer or not awaken the monitor. hard to know if the system has really awoken, but i can hear the hard drive spins up.

 

using an intel 915 MB and a celeron d330

update..... sleep works much better in fact perfect to date after turning off legacy usb in the BIOS. the downside to this is i can't use the keyboard or mouse until the GUI is up, therefore i switch it to enter any boot options.

one thing which may be related is that a secondary PATA drive has become very unstable after installing 10.4.5. this is very apparent after waking, but is also a problem for the BIOS not recognising it, so i assume it's the drive failing. anyone else found this?

I know that I never really had problems with Sleep in 10.4.1/10.4.3. Never used it much, but the times that I did, it worked rather well. The same goes for restarting. Judging by this, I'd say it'll work on 10.4.5.

 

This is with an upgraded Dell Dimension 4300, btw...

In 10.4.1 and 10.4.3. My laptop sleep but won't wake normally. The blacklight would never turn on once it slept. Thougt the system is running, without the blacklight you can't do anything.

 

In 10.4.5 the system wake normally with blacklight and it really give me better experience on OSX.

Now I just wonder if we can get the "Deep Sleep" to work.

Mine sleeps but since I have a Nvidia (VESA Only) card the monitor does not turn off so is freaking when I move the mouse and nothing happens, of course after I press "any key" it respond, but I better turn off the sleep though.

Righty:

 

Under 10.4.3 = Worked

Under 10.4.4 = Worked

Under 10.4.5 = Worked

Under 10.4.6 = Broken

EDIT:

Under 10.4.7 = Broken

 

The weird thing being I purchased my father the identical notebook, both running the same OS with the same PowerManagement.bundle and his sleeps in 10.4.6!

 

Mine either:

A: Switches Monitor Off (But nothing else, as the volume buttons still make noises)

B: Just totally Freezes

 

Help Please!

cant recall it working in any versions

 

If I press power button or sleep on keyboard you heard the harddrive spin down (sleep) monitor and all graphics remain on (i.e this page would still be displayed if I press sleep now)

 

It will not power up again by pressing power or any keyboard key including sleep again

S1 and S3 sleeps modes are working correctly on my mobo (ECS 945-G)

 

I used Myzar 10.4.5 Install DVD updated to 10.4.6 with Goatsecx's DVD .pkg and tried both 10.4.5 and 10.4.6 kexts for ACPI. Didn't try 10.4.3 because some users reported that broke their install.

 

The only issue I have is that keyboard and mouse stop working after I resume in S3 mode, don't have PS2 adaptors to see if the same problem appears if I use the devices on the PS2 bus. But for now I'm just using S1 sleep.

I shared the issue of my second PATA drive not waking from sleep.

 

It now lives in an external Firewire case and hosts my iTunes library and sleep works fine whether by timing out, selecting sleep from the Apple Menu or pressing the power button. Wake works from mouse click (Apple USB mouse) and that's how I've always woken my Macs so I haven't checked any other method.

 

Intel 945GNTL Motherboard

10.4.6 Native Install

Running 10.4.6 (JaS) on an IBM T43p. No go on sleep mode. Selecting the sleep option in OSX turns off hard drives, USB and even turns off monitor (radeontool), but it does not light up the "moon" light on my laptop to indicate sleep mode, nor do the lights turn off. I can also awaken from sleep no problem. Any help would be greately appreciated.
