htax Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hey guys, Long time reader, first time poster. I had 10.4.6 w/ 10.4.8 SSE3 combo update by JaS (8.4.1 kernel) and decided to upgrade my install with the latest dvd (on the green demon site, kernel 8.8.1). Everything worked just fine, but the laptop won't sleep on lid close anymore. I do know there are issues with semthex beta9 kernel when it comes to waking up from sleep, but I've replaced it with DaemonES and now its working perfectly. It's not an issue about OSX not recognizing the lid, because if I tell the lappie to sleep and close the lid, opening it again will wake the unit by itself perfectly (no need to press the power button). I wonder if JaS did anything on this release to disable that functionality since he released the DVD with semthex's kernel? I spent quite a few hours researching on forums/google but couldn't find an answer. Anyone got any insight on this? Oh, and how do I check if speed throttle is working on OSX? - htax Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39137-jas-1048-sse23-dvd-sleep-on-lid-close/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizbot Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Check the extensions for Insomnia.kext and remove/disable it (move it out of /System/Library/Extensions). Otherwise the feature may be broken. Check the System Preferences Energy Saver settings for the setting you're looking for. The only way I know to check if speedthrottle is working is using sysctl -a (IIRC) and looking up maxfrequency and minfrequency. Speed throttling on ACPI was broken in the latest kernel, so your fan may be going crazy.

htax Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 No Insomnia, and no settings related to sleep on lid close or anything on Energy Saver, only "Allow power button to sleep the computer" (checked). I'm not sure if its actually borked or if it was intentionally disabled because of semthex not supporting sleep, but since I got it fixed it would be nice if I didn't have to manually enable sleep every time I leave the pc or wait for the Energy Saver timeout. Whatever was done (if anything), it would be interesting for those who want to use Insomnia but can't on 10.4.8 (or that was fixed already?). And, yeah, speedthrottle is broken indeed, enough to afford a novel and a soap opera off it from what I see on the thread you've pasted (the rtc thing I guess is to keep the clock from going crazy like when you have a wrong fsb setting and things go out of sync - since you mess with a varying frequency, you probably must adapt the rtc to the new freq) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39137-jas-1048-sse23-dvd-sleep-on-lid-close/#findComment-279072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizbot Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 CPU throttling is broken. Its too bad, but I'd need a fix for GMA900 for it to help me much anyway. Try opening up the console.log and system.log (using Console.app), and try closing the lid. I just read back and saw you changed the kernel, but maybe you still have the logs from when you were trying it.

htax Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 I've opened /var/log/system.log on TextEdit, then closed the lid, opened it and told the app to revert to the saved file... but no new lines were added. I didn't find console.log tho. What I can see is that when I tell the system to manually sleep, it tries to hibernate (and fails), disables the NIC then sleeps - then I'm free to close the lid. When I open the lid, it'll list a system wake and enables the NIC. Unfortunately, there's nothing related to 10.4.6 on system.log anymore Oh, and about the GMA900... I'm using GMA950 here and its working perfectly. What kind of issues do you have?

frizbot Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 GMA950 is supported natively. GMA900 is "supported", but OS X cannot boot or wake from sleep without an external monitor (else there's a blue screen). There's a "dongle" fix that didn't work on my machine, though I didn't work hard on it since I have MXM as well. I have OS X on another machine with no SATA support, and became frustrated, so I'm looking into building one with perfectly supported hardware in another thread in the hardware subforum. GMA950 is on the list At least you have sleep working :-\. Not sure what else to recommend.
