gurde Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I managed to install SL 10.6.4 in 64bit on my 1520. Almost everything works, except sleep and shutdown. For sleep I don't really care, but the shutdown problems is killing me. If set GraphicsEnabler to No then the laptop shuts down completely, if is set to Yes it hangs. So I guess the problem is with the graphics driver? In System Profiler I see my geforce 8400m gs with 128mb. Everything work fine, video, sound, lan, wifi, mic, webcam, card reader, keyboard, touchpad(even 2 finger scroll). Also works with an external display and is great. Display runs at full resolution(1440*990*32). Now. How can I fix my shutdown? I've been searching for 2 weeks now. I would appreciate some help.

I have a Vostro 1500 with the same Graphic Card (nVidia GeForce 8400M GS) and the sleep and shutdown does not work at all. I couldn't figure out how to do so. Also, for Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS the dual-monitor works gracefully, except when I choose Mirroring (the first monitor goes black). Have you tested Mirroring? Does it work?

gurde Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 I didn't tested, since I don't mirror. I extend the desktop to my external display. I am more concerned about the shut down not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexaffonso Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Could you please test it? I'm an Instructor and my concerns are about mirroring! I need it to mirror my screen to students follow. Your help woud be great for me now! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurde Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 I connected my external display, a 23" Dell. Dual screen work. I can arrange the displays position for mouse positioning. When I set it to mirror my laptops display goes blue and my desktop is on external display. Is this the right behavior? I guess not, since I can only see the mouse on both screens but nothing else on the laptop display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess not, since I can only see the mouse on both screens but nothing else on the laptop display. This isn't the right behaviour! When mirroring we should see the same desktop on both screens (laptop and external Dell). So you do have the same problem as I'm passing through. I've already tested NVenabler, NVInject and GraphicEnabler=Yes. All of them returns the same problem. And I guess the display driver is also the one who's generating problems for shutdown and sleep.

gurde Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Well, yes. When the graphics enabler is set to no then it can shutdown. But this is not a solution, since I need acceleration for editing. However, why is the dsdt.aml not working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurde Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 I would really like a solution for this shutdown. One more thing, how can I make osx sleep the display then I close the lid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
