My X200s is suffering from some (unrelated) issues right now so I can't test my idea, but I was thinking of trying something for the sleep problem. This build of Chameleon is supposed to fix deep sleep (hibernation) issues: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=192852 , and apparently you can force deep sleep to be the default sleep method with this terminal command:

Code:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1
With a fast SSD, wake from hibernation is acceptably fast so it would be a decent compromise until I can get 'regular' sleep to work. Maybe you can try it and report back to the thread.

Also, for the WLAN card, I had the Intel 5100 and I don't think either it or the 5300 are supported natively by OS X. Back in June anyway, there was no way at all to get them to work with Leopard. Now there are experimental drivers over at insanelymac, but they are not very stable yet and can't use Airport, so it just seemed simpler to swap the card for one that is natively supported - on this subject, I bought a BCM94321MC, which was not a very good idea: it is too thick to fit in the X200s WLAN slot. You can't screw it all the way down, or you would risk bending the motherboard! I am thinking of replacing it with a AR5BXB72 which seems thinner.

Another thing I did not test yet but that seems promising is this little app designed to get the Home and End keys to work the way they do with Windows: http://www.starryhope.com/tech/apple/2006/keyfixer/ . That would fix a major annoyance.

And lastly, while speaking of keyboard, if there are other French X200s users out here (you never know...), I am currently modifying my keyboard layout file to get the < > key at the right place (to the right of Shift instead of the left of 1). I will post the keyboard layout on this thread when it works as intended.
