joe75 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 It looks like a SSE2 problem, someone with an SSE2 laptop needs to recompile from the source package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe75 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) But it work on 10.4.6 with sse2... That is 8.4.1 kernel and the kext was probably compiled on that kernel, with new 8.8.1 kernel there may be parameters that need to be changed. From reading the thread and from my own laptop, it doesn't seem to be a problem with SSE3 and I use that kext in leopard and 4.9 with 8.1 kernel, so I know its not a 4.8 problem Edited January 11, 2007 by joe75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNinja Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hmm...odd. When I try to move the powermanagement.bundle, I pressed authenticate, entered my password, yet still told me I did not have sufficient priviliges to do such a thing...any suggestions?

ufulu Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Yes I would also like to know how you did it! A detailed How to would be exellent, since I also have a sse2 and uptil now only had kernel panic when trying... It is really strange at first my notebooks fan is nice and quiet and all of a sudden (without any big operations going on) the fan goes crazy.... under 10.4.7 this was not the case...

It is really strange at first my notebooks fan is nice and quiet and all of a sudden (without any big operations going on) the fan goes crazy.... under 10.4.7 this was not the case... Weird. Apparently it's been working for me. I can read my battery level, though in settings it will tell me things like it's at 125% (tho reads 100% on the top menu). My fan goes on and off regularly as it did in XP (ie: heats up a little, fan turn on quietly, cools off, fan disables). This didn't solve any problems with sleep or safe sleep (both still lock up, or never return the screen.. whatever happens I have to reboot). But it did solve the battery level thing. I haven't run on batteries yet, tho the wireless 2200 drivers appear to be "workable" now so if that's true I'll be testing out the battery soon too. Don't remember doing anything special aside from following the "install isntructions" which I think was nothing more than copying some files and checking permissions....?

GmanBen Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hey guys here is the detailed tutorial I followed, I wrote it couple of months ago so that I would not forget on how to do it and the only different thing I did this time is download the newest version of PowerManagement bundle. But instructions are all the same, just get the new file from the beginning of this forum, follow my instruction and hopefully it will also work on my computer and good as it is working right now on mine. Any questions let me know here and I am more than willing to try to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ome.ijs Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Does anyone know where to find that IOSMBusController.h ? I'm willing to have another go at hacking something for my HP nc6000 because it appears only something trivial is going wrong: a) battery is only recognized after re-inserting it charge is 99% until the last few minutes, then it suddenly drops very quickly, from looking at the charge reported it appears that the battery just uses a different scale to report it's charge (sorry, don't know the details right now - last time I looked at it was months ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuXb Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) Can somebody please tell me why the battery percentage is not indicated in my 8.8.1 system, always showing 0%? The %age is displayed correcty in my 10.4.8 install with 8.4.1 Maxxuss kernel, so obviously I know how to install it (same kext from page 1 in both installs ) .. Must be some 10.4.8 kext(s), right? 'Cause that's pretty much the only modules which differ from .4 to .8 kernel sys from what I know !? Edited February 14, 2007 by BugsBunny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solu Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Has anyone noticed that the fan is very loud and active, unless you boot Windows first and then do a "warm" restart? Seems like some ACPI registers need to be initialized, which Windows apparently does and which is persistent even through a "warm" reboot. Reproducable.

mentorek Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) Any chances to port this kind of functionality (http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml) in OSX? I mean just loading DSDT and "overwriting" the one from BIOS/firmware/whatever. I think that could solve some problems people are experiencing with their hardware. For my Toshiba laptop with this patch I am able to use most of hardware still being able to use acpi functions.

paringas Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hey, guys. You know, this is all good and great, but i've got something to ask: Has anyone noticed the battery life under this kex is MUCH shorter than in windows? Could someone elaborate, please(with solutions if possible). computer: HP TC4200, SpeedStep disabled in bios. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solu Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) Has anyone noticed the battery life under this kex is MUCH shorter than in windows?Could someone elaborate, please(with solutions if possible). Under Windows, the processor is throttled down in order to save energy. This kext doesn't do that, it "just" shows the battery in the menu bar, but does no actual power saving, as far as I understand it. The current kernel lacks the required functionality.

Exactly the same thing here. Did you ever have the Tray-Icon working correctyl with a 8.8.1 (10.4.8) kernel install (I didn't, just with 10.4.4 kernel). If so, with which?

rainman2006 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 since upgrading to 10.4.8 with the 8.8.1 kernel my laptop loses the picture when the lid is closed and reopened (it doesnt sleep) and when the sleep function is selected it goes to sleep but doesnt wake to allow access to the screen/computer. was ok under 10.4.8 without newer kernel. i tried replacing the poewrmanagement.bundle but while that restores the battery icon/life remaining thing, sleep control don't know. any ideas please? thanks.

ricren Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Sorry guys is this is very basic, but I read the entire thread and I want to know: Is this "fix" already included in the final Jas 10.4.8 DVD? Or I have to include the files on this thread to be complete? I installed the DVD version on my AMD laptop and I get the battery indicator with all the options for time or percent, but If I run on batteries, it shows that it drops down very fast! If I boot in windows the batttery drops much much slower. Is this normal? Ric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
