OlivierSeres Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Hi, i've successuffly installed osX 10.4.6 (i'll see for 10.4.7 later). Questions: Screensavers don't works (the application System Preferences crashes). How can i fix it ? When i close the lip of my laptop, the PC is still running, is there a way to set up a "sleep mode" ? Thanks Laptop Thinkpad T41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtoink Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 The real issue isn't so much getting it tp sleep, it's getting it to wake up again. I'm not certain that anyone has had sleep work as it should on thier laptop. I have seen that a few reported it working correctly on thier desktop, however. I doubt that helps, though. I have to actually run some third party software to prevent sleep when I close the lid on my laptop, since it fails to wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondergod Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I think only laptops with GMA 900 and 950 can properly sleep and wakeup and not even all of those.... As for the screen savers they won't work properly unless you have QE and CI enabled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlivierSeres Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Thanks Personnaly, I don't see a lot interest in installing MacOsX on a laptop without sleeping mode. Without sleeping mode, you have to shut down your PC each time you move ... not cool @ all ! On Linux Mandriva i have installed a softwer call "ocorino" (or somthing like that). Don't you thing smthing simialr could exist for osx86 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlivierSeres Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 up, thanks, the "save sleep" of Apple is maybe difficult to be set on a PC but is there any intermediate sleep mode that could be activated ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooododoo Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I wonder why the screen does not "wake up" again. I'd hate to think that my laptop LCD's backlight burn out prematurely due to this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on your definition of "properly" you can be right, but the crashing problem is related to OpenGL. Get OpenGL to work and it won't crash, regardless of CI/QE working. zbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
