I've been trying to enable sleep on my laptop running a vanilla install of 10.6, upgraded to 10.6.3. I haven't been having any luck, I used to use SleepEnabler which didn't work, however now I've switched to using one of the DSDT's from this thread: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=190780. At one point, I put it to sleep and it worked, and after that it never slept again. As of now, when I try to sleep it, the HDD light blinks for a second (not long enough to be hibernation) and then the computer restarts with the keyboard disabled. I have to remove the battery to fix this (strange values written to some chip i don't know lol?). Anyway does anyone know anything about sleep on this computer?

Hello !

I'm having the same "sleep" issue on my Dell XPS m1530 under Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard.

Could someone help ?

 

I'm also having an issue with the Wifi drivers which still does not work (it's a Intel 4965 chip and the "iwifi" driver gives me kernel panic).

 

I've found the good sound driver however : use latest "VoodooHDA" driver. It will work.

As far as I know that wireless chipset never worked in OS X, you would need the Broadcom one I think it was called the Dell TrueMobile card or something. And yes VoodooHDA does work quite well for the sound card :) By the way, the broadcom card works vanilla, it looks like apple has implented a broadcom driver.

I managed to successfully install Lion on my XPSm1530 following immo's excellent guide and dsdt modified for 10.6.8/10.7 as described here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=190780.

 

To get sleep working, I started up terminal and typed the following

 

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0

 

followed by my password.

The above is required to set "hibernate mode to 0". Hope this helps someone :)
