FYI, I was 100% working prior to the update ( Video, Sound, Net, Sleep, etc...) Thanks!!!!!!!!

Guys hi there! i had the same problem as well!

My Specs are:

CPU: Pentium D E6300 @ 2.8
MOBO: G31M-ES2L rev 1.0
VGA: Gigabyte 8400 GS 512
RAM: Kingston Hyper X 2GB@800

The thing is that i do not want to do again a fresh install, there is no reason to go through this procedure again, after all we are running ''macs'', fresh installs and formats are for Windows shit (imho)!

So i have followed the same guide as well and i am running 10.6
Does anybody have THE solution for the video matter?
Besides sleep enable kexts are there any other kexts that we should remove/install like graphics kexts?

I had to reverse to 10.6.2

Got a blue screen with 10.6.3
Removed sleepenabler before updating.
Maybe it's something to do with my graphics card (7300).
I'll just have to wait awhile before updating, see what develops.


G31m-ES2L
E6300@ 2.8
7300 GT
64 bit


edit: its a 64 bit problem, it works when using "arch=i386" as boot argument.
Fixed sound by installing AppleHDA.kext from 10.6.2 by dropping on Kext Utility.

Try using the NVEnabler kext. Flawless upgrade to 10.6.3. DVI to HDMI fully working.

What audio kext are you using? I seems to lost only audio while the rest seems to be good ... no more output listed in audio pref. ...

I'm having the same problem, even after installing tonymac's kext. Not sure what else to try

Reading the comments on netkas.org concerning 10.6.3 update I came upon the following by "mac_dude".

"As I see there is no more 64 bit Support for GForce 7xxx Cards in 10.6.3 "

Might explain my problems when updating.

I have a very similar spec to you, though the graphics card is an Asus 9400GT.

If you can set the energy saver to one minute, or leave the |Enegry saver for the screen to come on then move the mouse it springs into action and works OK. I set mine to one minute when I'm booting and then move it to 15 min afterwards.

I've never got it to work directly after a boot. I *think* you can also get to it from a Screen sharing session and set it through that.

Same here. No audio for me either...

10.6.3 fully working here after following n1c3jack3t's instructions to install the newer SleepEnabler before applying the 10.6.3 update and then the tonymacx86 audio fix after restarting.

Kexts installed in Extra/Extensions:

• fakesmc.kext
• LegacyALC883.kext
• NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
• OpenHaltRestart.kext
• PlatformUUID.kext
• SleepEnabler.kext

GA-G31M-ES2L
E6300 2.8GHz (OC 3.33GHz)
Asus 9400GT 512MB
32bit

Has anyone tried sleep without the new sleepenabler? I saw several reports (not our mobo) that some folks don't need sleepenabler any more (edit: with 10.6.3)
