Sleep problem on ThinkPad T41 - hangs on resume

[kl76]

Hi,

 

I've used iPC OSx86 10.5.6 PPF5 to install Leopard on a ThinkPad T41 (2373-TG5) with an ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (ID 4c66) and an Atheros WLAN card. I'm running the Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel and AppleSMBIOS-27 rev6 (I think) with a fairly minimal set of OSx86 kexts.

 

My main problem at the moment is getting Sleep (or more specifically, resuming from sleep) working. With only AGPGart and no specific video driver, I get a "System Doze" instead of sleep. If I install the Radeon 9200 support bundle from http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?fym43mk1fon (which includes Callisto b003 (fixed)), it will go to sleep -with the backlight off, but the LCD image still faintly visible (presumably the LCD hasn't actually powered down). However, if I try to wake it with the power button or Fn-F4, it will wake up, the backlight blinks and stays on and it does some disk I/O, but the screen is frozen with no mouse cursor. The system hasn't hung completely though, as I can still send it to sleep again with Fn-F4.

 

If I drop into text mode (">console" at login) and sleep using "pmset sleepnow" or Fn-F4, then it does actually appear to wake up OK, but if I then exit text mode, it will freeze again when WindowServer starts up. I'm guessing then, that it's a problem with the graphics driver.

 

I've also tried later versions of Callisto (b005, b006, b008) but they all result in a black screen as soon as they initialize at boot-time (even with AltPLLmethod=true). I've also tried installing RadeonTool.kext but that gives me a panic at boot time.

 

Has anybody else had a similar problem? Is there any known workaround for this that will let it sleep and resume? Will I have more luck with Tiger?

 

Thanks in advance...

Did you solve the problem in the meantime?
