Hello.

This is my story. I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 with Core2Duo 1.66 CPU and 4GB DDR2 and GeForece 8400M GS 128MB. I installed OS X 10.6.3 from retail DVD, used Chameleon as bootloader, then updated to 10.6.4. Almost everything works fine, except shutdown and sleep.

Putting the computer to sleep, it goes to sleep, but after a 1 or 2 seconds wakes up automatically. So this is a no go.

The other problem is that when I shutdown the computer, apparently everything is close, but the power led is still on and I have to push the power button for 6 seconds to turn it off completely.

 

Both CPU cores work fine, video card works fine @ full resolution, audio works, wireless work, ethernet work, bluetooth work, media buttons work.

 

In /Extra/Extensions I have these kexts: EvOreboot.kext, FakeSMC.kext, IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext and SleepEnabler.kext.

In /System/Library/Extensions I have these kexts: AppleBCM440XEthernet.kext, IOBluetoothFamily.kext, IONetworkingFamily.kext, OSXRestart.kext, AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext, VoodooPS2Controller.kext, VoodooBattery.kext, VoodooHDA.kext and VoodooSDHC.kext.

All these kexts were installed by me, since some of them are for running in 64 bit mode.

 

If I disable the GraphicsEnabler then the shutdown work as it should, but as soon as I enable it, shutdown brakes. Also pressing the power button brings up the dialog box for selection options to restart, sleep or shutdown. However restart work just fine.

 

Could someone help me out with this? I would really appreciate some help, since I'm struggling with these problems for almost a month now.

 

PS: I also uploaded the DSDT extracted from the system, if it helps

dsdt.zip

I disabled SleepEnabler and when I put it into sleep, well, only the long pressed power button can "wake" it. You know, shut down.

 

I removed both of the restart kexts, restart didn't work, shutdown didn't work. I put them back individually, restart worked with either of them but shutdown didn't.

 

Any other suggestions?

 

PS: here is my kernel log dump:

Sleep Problem:

 

The very first thing that pops into my mind is to fix your usb devices. Check out this topic and see which DSDT hacks are apply to you. USB, LPC ( did you notice that you have an error message on Console about LPC?), TMR, PIC, RTC, HPET, SBUS these will probably work for you. BTW, try to change sleep mode. Read this and the following.

 

Speedstep:

 

If you use NullCPUPowerManagement, you should also use VoodooPowerMini. Otherwise you can't get P-States. VoodooPowerMini can keep your computer cool until you find a better solution. If you apply RTC, SBUS, LPC and HPET fixes, you can hopefully remove NullCPUPowerManagement and use vanilla power management. Pay attention here please, you may get kernel panic after removing NullCPUPowerManagement so back up first.

 

Graphic Card

 

Apparently, built-in enabler feature is not working for you although it gives you proper resolution etc. Search the forum and see if there are other people using the same card. Dell 1330 has the same graphic card so I suggest you take a look at their DSDT fix. It should work for you. There is a special thread for this laptop. Also there should be a dsdt fix for this laptop as well. See if it works for you. There is newer version of Chameleon, give it a try too.

 

Finally, for the sake of keeping the system as vanilla as possible, I suggest you move AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext, VoodooPS2Controller.kext, VoodooBattery.kext to Extra folder.

I already tried doing the dsdt.aml compile stuff, I got errors. Have no clue how this stuff works. Unless somebody helps me out with that, I have no idea how to do it.

 

Why do you think my video card is not working as it should? In system profiler is detected. I get the transparent menu bar and the ripple effect when adding a dashboard widget (as I read these are the ways to find out if it works).

 

Reading that guide and searching in my dsl extracted from the system I cand find many of the things that it tells to search.

Sorry, I am not a DSDT geek either.

I suggest you start step by step. First, find Dell 1330 topic on forum and apply Nvidia hack. If you have compile errors then share it on that topic. I think someone may help you. If you don't know how to edit DSDT file then first download DSDTSE editor and take a look.

 

I think, the built-in NVCAP value is problematic in your case.

Sure there isn't a guide for this laptop?

 

Good luck,

 

By the way, take a look at this topic.

Use that editor and share your errors. People may help you.

Download the modified FakeSMC.kext from this topic I mentioned above. On the same topic you could also find the DSDT hacks for the following problems.

 

Azal: This is audio device. You need to patch this.

Lid: This is laptop Lid. When you close it computer should go to sleep.

EHC and EHCI are USB bus and they also need patching.

 

Please, first try to learn how to modify DSDT file, sometimes it is a copy paste thing if you find the hack you need.

Don't know how to tell you, but my extracted DSDT doesn't look like the one on that page. I tried to follow those examples, but I don't know how to patch it. I'm just to dumb.

 

I extracted the DSDT form the system, and I changed nothing, tried to compile it. I got a lot of errors. Don't even know what they are.

only one error

Name (_HID, "*pnp0c14")

 

Mac OS X

you can remove the DSDT being used

restart

run on terminal

perl -e 'open(CMD, "ioreg -lw0 \| grep DSDT|") or die; while(<CMD>) { chomp; if($_ =~ /\"DSDT\.?\d?\"=<([^>]*)>/) { $buff = $1; open(PIP, "|xxd -r -p > dsdt.aml") or die; print PIP "$1"; } }'

 

Windows

use Everest

MaLd0n you already posted that zip, right? When I tried that, my screen got black after booting up. Could not do anything.

 

Nops

I just compiled that correcting the error

I just compiled without errors

you need to apply the fixs

if you did not apply any fix

has no difference from your original bios

 

see the fixs cited by JBraddock

I'm trying to tell you, that I have no idea how to apply any fix. I'm new to this stuff. 1 month ago I started to research, 3 weeks ago I installed for the 1st time OS X, 1 week ago I just managed to make it run with no kernel panics. Now patching dsdt is a more complex stuff, especially with non so understandable fixes. In those tutorials they write to do that and that on that line. Why? And what does that change compared to the previous code. I would like to understand that. I hope you understand me, but not everybody is meant to do stuff like this, at least without learning something about it.

 

As I wrote before, some of the examples don't match anything as in my dsdt, so what am I supposed to do?

My friend I know how you feel and no one expects you to create a miracle over a night.

 

Please just read carefully. I just looked into your DSDT code and clearly you have USB1, USB2, USB3, USB4, USB5, EHC1 and EHC2.

You also have Device (RTC), Device (TMR). For these hacks, you only need to copy and paste.

 

Check out this topic and the other topic I gave you. Device names can be different. for example, in my case, my usb devices are named like UHC1, UHC2 etc. Just go step by step and first apply USB fixes. You'll see the result and then you'll know that you are doing.

 

Post you DSDT problems to DSDT Editor and Patches topic.
