e1505 configurations report (ACPI problems)

[x86]

I've done about 5 installs on my newe1505, and here is a report:

 

Machine setup:

1.66Ghz Core Duo

1680x1050 screen on GMA950

1GB RAM

40GB HD

 

Tried installing with: myzar patched 10.4.5 DVD

Things working on all configurations:

- Graphics (QE/CE, customizable resolution)

- Network (both Wireless and Ethernet. Wifi can be toggled with keyboard shortcuts Fn+F2)

- CD Burner recognized, but haven't tried burning

Things not working:

- onboard sound (workaround: USB sound card)

- ACPI functions (no battery reporting, no waking up from sleep)

Unsure:

- Unsure if speedstep works. The battery life I got seems to be too long for running at full throttle (2.5+ hours, and still going on standard battery). Is there a tool to check your current clock?

 

Installs tried:

10.4.5+AMD+Dual core enabled: only boots to single user mode

10.4.5+Dual core enabled - boots, but stutters, especially on video

10.4.5+Dual core disabled - no glitches, enabling dual core after reboot results in booting to single user mode

No_patch+Dual core disabled - no glitches. enabling dual core after reboot boots, but results in major video glitches (flashing screen etc)

 

booting with platform=ACPI flag has no impact on anything.

 

So to summarize:

Everything either works or there is a workaround for except for multi-core support, and ACPI/sleep functionality.

Single core is not a major problem, the performance is still quite good, but no waking up from sleep is a show stopper. Anyone has any insight about what can be done about this (fixing sleep, and enabling battery indicator in UI). If nothing else - is there a way to disable sleep on lid close, to prevent machine dying every time i want to move it?

 

Thanks.
