TIMMAYOSX Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 SleepEnablerNG 1.0.2 (i386 & x64) - July 2, 2011 v1.0.1+ has full Lion GM support. SleepEnablerNG is based on SleepEnabler by Meklort, but updated for full Snow Leopard (10.6.0 - 10.6.8), and Lion. This version differs in that it takes care of buffer overflow issues present in the existing SleepEnabler that can, for some users present issues such as random KPs, specifically in Lion and newer, untested kernels. I am now part of the SleepEnabler project, and as such this will be one of my last release of SleepEnablerNG. Future updates will be on the official SleepEnabler project. (makes things much easier for users) This version will auto detect the pmVersion on Snow Leopard (up to 10.6.8), and Lion (10.7.0). If you are using a release outside of this, you will need to specify a pmVersion parameter. Version 1.0.2 (did a much needed rewrite, but otherwise functionally identical to 1.0.1) kext SleepEnablerNG1.0.2.zipsource SleepEnablerNG1.0.2_src.zip Version 1.0.1 kext SleepEnablerNG1.0.1.zipsource SleepEnablerNG1.0.1_src.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuXb Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I do not have Lion DP4 installed at the moment? quoting your sig: Lion (DP4) installed ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIMMAYOSX Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I had been using DP4, however xcode is not compatible with Lion yet, so I was forced to reinstall Snow Leopard for the development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuXb Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I have maintained compatibility with the pmVersion kernel parameter.unclear - does that mean your mod REQUIRES pmVersion to be set in com.apple.Boot.plist? --> for 10.6.8: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v pmVersion=23</string> if so, then saying Simply put it in /Extra/Extensions, fix permissions & caches, and reboot. Don't forget to remove SleepEnabler.kext first. would be misleaing, not mentioning that the pmVersion parameter MUST be set. Please improve your manual a bit, TIMMAYOS - Thanks I had been using DP4, however xcode is not compatible with Lion yet, so I was forced to reinstall Snow Leopard for the development.LOL Ok thanks for the clarification. Xcode Lion should come with the DVD, shouldn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIMMAYOSX Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 No, the pmVersion is optional, and only needs to be set if you are using a kernel > 10.8.0 (OS X 10.6.8) xcode 3 is only for SL xcode 4 (beta) is also only for SL at this time. I am sure they will release a Lion compatible version when Lion is released. Also, this is a paid version, at least during it's beta cycle.

BuXb Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 The extension will detect any SL release between 10.6.0 and 10.6.8.wow, you were able to code pmVersion auto-detect, respect my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooSixy Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 xcode 4 (beta) is also only for SL at this time. I am sure they will release a Lion compatible version when Lion is released. Also, this is a paid version, at least during it's beta cycle. XCode 4.1 is for Lion. You can get it if you have a Developer account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No key strings needed, no issues. Thnx TIMMAYOSX. My rig is built arround GA-EP35-DS4 with SL 10.6.8. 64-bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIMMAYOSX Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 XCode 4.1 is for Lion. You can get it if you have a Developer account. I was thinking about it. $99 bucks / year is not all that bad. I will probably go that route once Lion is officially released. For the time being, I am able to develop Lion extensions with xcode 3.2.6 under Snow Leopard, so not too bad. (though I will have to convert my desktop to OS X next, to simplify testing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nawcom Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I got a link to this thread from meklort; he was sorta pissed - I'm not really sure what your goal is with this. You essentially took the code from the open source project, renamed it, and closed it up. As of now you haven't added anything. This isn't a branch of the code - it's just a direct copy of it. Feel free to contribute to SleepEnabler, meklort and I helped improve simek's code via permission, and you are welcome to contribute as well. By the way, It's been updated for Lion - feel free to take a look for those who are in search for it, source code is available. The purpose of the kext will soon get moved to the bootloader, as it's on our list of things to cover. http://blog.nawcom.com/?p=806 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIMMAYOSX Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 I mean in no way to step on anybody's toes. From everything I have read, seen, and heard I honestly thought the code was abandoned as it was not updated any longer (well, not until today), and had some serious issues for those with > 10.6.6 releases. I was in a bind, as were thousands of others with no other options available. Seeing the code is MIT licensed, I decided at that time to fork the code, and modernize it. I am however very pleased to see SleepEnabler has just been updated, and I would not mind joining or contributing to the project. This would save me from setting up a google code account. Cheers, and thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meklort Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 TIMMAYOSX, I had a couple of issues with the way you released this. 1) You didn't include the source. I have nothing agains you continuing sleep enabler, however, if you make changes, please include the source. I see that you have recently updated your first post to include them. 2) The way the post was written, it sounded like you added something new, while in reality, the only thing you did was as the pm versions for 10.6.7 and for 10.6.8. Also note that the values in the source for 10.6.7 is incorrect. You have it at 22, while it should be 21. If a user on 10.6.7 uses this, they will get a kernel panic. If you would like to be added to the google code project so that you can make changes, send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIMMAYOSX Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Thank you, I will send you a PM. If you look in pmCPUSkel.h, you will notice something slightly different, and with my explanation in sleepenabler.c, you will understand why the change was made.

Kasakka Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I don't think I've ever seen an explanation for what SleepEnabler does. What exactly does it do? For the record the versions I've tried have never been able to fix the only problem that my Abit IP35 board has - waking from sleep. The system does sleep, but it does not wake up properly, instead you get a blank screen and probably a jammed computer because you can't launch anything via keyboard.

tdtran1025 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Not working! Lion (11A494a) throws KP on pmVersions from 20 and beyond. Without pmVersion, kext does not load. This is not ready for prime time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system does sleep, but it does not wake up properly, instead you get a blank screen and probably a jammed computer because you can't launch anything via keyboard. The one and *only* think that sleep enabler does is tell XNU that it can *try* to sleep. This is what normally happens... The user (or a program) tells the computer to sleep. 1) XNU checks to see if it has any power management driver, if not it say "no, not gonna happen." 2) XNU checks to see if the power management driver told xnu that everything was setup. If not, it says no. 3) XNU checks to see if the power management driver told xnu that it has a function to stop the cpu. If not, it says no. 4) XNU calls the cpu stop function. The function returns 0 for success. If not, xnu says no. 5) XNU goes to sleep if all of the above happens. So... what sleep enabler does is this. 1) It tells the kernel that there is a power management driver. If it tells xnu that it provides the wrong version of power management, XNU will panic and yell at you. 2) It tells the kernel that the power management driver is done initializing everything. 3) it tells the kernel to call the half function it provides. 4) the halt function does absolutely nothing but return 0. In other words. SleepEnabler tells XNU that it can go to sleep. It doesn't tell it how to sleep. It doesn't tell it how to wake. In other words, it won't hep you out. You have a different issue (which can probably be fixed with some dsdt tweeks). That's pretty much it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
