Chad Arthur Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hey guys, I just installed OS X 10.4.8 from JAS on my Portege M100 with the intel 855GM graphics card. Now, I'm aware that (according to some older posts) that you need 10.4.1 to get this adapter to work with QE, but that's not my main concern. This laptop performs well enough for me, (wifi and sound working perfectly) for me to use it for work. My problem is, when the computer goes into sleep mode, everything does it's job (hard drive fan etc.) but whatever was on the screen when the machine went into sleep stays there. The screen doesn't come off, neither is it updated until I move the mouse. I'm afraid my screen's life will be shortened because of this, and my precious battery life will eat up more than it should on a regular basis. Is there any hope for me? Or even probably a way to allow my screen to shut off when i hit the power button? All other PowerManagement features work fine, battery etc. If i could just get this working, I'd have the perfect system for my work . Thanks already.

Chad Arthur Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm forced to use a black screen saver for the moment. It's better than nothing. I can't find 10.4.1 anywhere, so I guess I'll just have to live with this.

anitanium Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 this might not be a permanent 'fix', but i installed insomniac.kext, and when the comp goes to 'sleep', if i close the screen, the backlight turns off it's still 'on', and you can see the screen, but the light is off saves you some power at least Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82048-os-x-1048-on-toshiba-portege-m100/#findComment-584671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
