Dell Precision M6400 10.6.4 Installed - Impossible to Sleep, Shutdown, or Restart Properly

Hi,

 

I have a Dell Precision M6400 Laptop with 10.6.4 SnowLeo installed.

 

Specs:

-2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 cpu

-4GB PC1066 DDR3 SDRAM (1GB x 4)

-500GB Hitachi 7200 HDD (MacOS X 10.6.4 Volume)

-640GB WD 5400 HDD (Windows 7 Volume)

-DVD-ROM Drive

-NVidia Quadro FX2700M 512MB Video

-17" WXGA+ 1440x900 Built-In Display

-High-Definition Audio

-Broadcom WiFi

-Intel Chipset (Q43 chipset as searched on Google)

 

Everything mostly works but... :)

 

-There is no way to sleep as doing so causes the computer to give a black screen and wont wake up so a power button press off and power button press on is required.

 

-The computer gives a black screen after shutdown but does not power off automatically

 

-The reboot hangs on black screen and does not reboot the computer so manual power cycle is required

 

I have the Following power related kexts installed that should have made those things work fine but didnt:

 

- SleepEnabler.kext (Latest one that is certified to support 10.6.4)

- OpenHaltRestart.kext

- VoodooBattery.kext

- VoodooPowerACPI.kext

 

Anybody have a good solution to fix these issues? :D

HI

I'm working on the same problem.

I think the issue is related to the quadro video card and it's kexts..

Can you please post the install procedure you followed

so we can sync and work together to solve the problem?

thanks
