ed_co Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I don't have a concrete answer for you, but I have both installed and both seem to be working as they are supposed to and not interfering with one another. Thank you for your reply. I have 3 questions: 1)The ACPICPUThrottle v1.01 works well I think, but when I work without power supply (only with batteries) the laptop work slow, and sound works bad. And when I plug power supply again, I work slow until restart (with power supply, of course). 2)I use the autostart version, Can I use the GUI to config the application? Where is the GUI? I have the three files. I need the two features: CPU change speed and precise battery metter, and for this I installed both. Thank you. Greetings.

i.wanna.corndog Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 @james2mart The update by default replaces the PowerManagement.bundle with the standard one. What I have gotten used to doing is copying the patched bundle to my desktop before updating then recopying it over after an update. The patched bundle works fine with 10.4.7.

james2mart Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Yea i guess. I thought it disabled it or something because I put it back in and it worked. I didn't think it had actually replaced it because all of the file modification dates were the same as the edited version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 First of all, thanks for you're efforts. It's seems that you've already helped to a lot of people. My english wasn't so good but i'll try to explain what happened to my laptop. I have the laptop described on my signature with OSX 10.4.7. I have tried to get ACPI because of the noise of the fans and i have downloaded from this forum and installed three things: - ACPICPUThrottle_v1.02_autostart.tar - PowerManagement.tar - BatteryTimeRemaining.c Now, i have the battery icon at the top of my bar, but i still heard the sound of the fans all the time and my battery will die in less than an hour. I wonder if you please could help me to solve this and make my Apple's transition even more delicious. I send here one of the outputs that i've seen on the posts (for my machine, of course): panchito:~ alcapone$ sysctl -a | grep hw.cpukern.exec: unknown type returned hw.cpufrequency = 1067000000 hw.cputype: 7 hw.cpusubtype: 4 hw.cpufrequency: 1067000000 hw.cpufrequency_min: 1067000000 hw.cpufrequency_max: 1600000000 panchito:~ alcapone$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo50t Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Well everything worked for me just fine. I loved having the icon availible again making it easy to change my settings at will. Is the DVD problem ever going to be addressed? If not then I won't be able to use it, I have to have my DVD capability. Has anyone found a fix? I would post my log files, but they look just like the others people have posted with this problem, no need to repost them. Thanks for you hard work, you did a fantastic job with this project.

The White Rabbit Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Please excuse me if my question has already been answered but I was wondering wether this bundle - being ACPI related - could help me to turn off properly my Hackintosh which is build on an Asrock 775Dual-915GL mobo. It seems ACPI isn't handled as it should be in this case, because plugged USB devices prevent OS X to fully shutdown. Thx for advices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GmanBen Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Working on Gateway M280 tablet pc, running JaS OSx86 10.4.7. Thanks a lot for this great release. This time it does provide up-to-date information on my power status. The only problem I am having is that the insomnia method stopped to work. I am not sure if it happened after I installed this bundle or the 10.4.7 update, but if anyone here knows how to get this working again, please let me know. I am using the insomnia.zip method on the /Library/StartupItems and it did work for me before. Now it does not, so any advice is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest goodtime Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I have a Compaq X1000 laptop running MacOS 10.4.7 (Upgraded from JaS 10.4.6). It is a thrill having a Batter Meter back again! The only think I cannot do on this laptop is close the lid while is it running (locks up). This Symptom showed up after 10.4.6 (10.4.3 seemed okay as I vaguely rememember). Anyways, Great job on this bundle! Battery Meter rocks. GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbmac Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Worked great on my Thinkpad x41 with 10.4.6! THANKS!!!! I am really starting to like Mac OS X! I never used it before but I love the Unix with a good GUI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondergod Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I have a hp dv1520 and I didn't have a battery meter at all, in fact my sys profile didn't even show a battery installed. After I used this I now have a battery in sys profile and I can get the meter and percentages, but it just says calculating when I switch it to time.....In all honesty thats still a step up from not having it all...so thank you very much Great work! haven't tested dvd play but i used vlc anyways!

zubi_won Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Thanks alot for all the hard wordwor keithpk. It works great on my Dell D800. I was wondering though have you given any thought to adding in low battery error messages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainman2006 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 since upgrading to 10.4.7 i seem to have lost the battery icon. where do i put the batterytimeremaining file to bring it back? thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slithy Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Pretty sure I copied the PowerManagment.bundle over again after upgrading to 10.4.7, but the battery monitor isn't back, so I don't know if the driver needs updating or not. *EDIT* I re-downloaded the .bundle and applied it and the battery meter works now and so does the remaining power calculation.
