Sleep, Restart, Shutdown not working ...
 
Hello,

I have a D630 with an NVidia graphic card
When i install SL the first time, shutdown, restart and sleep work
After i apply the driver pack, sleep, restart and shutdown won't trigger the hardware to stop
I just have a blank (black) screen :'(

I have to push the power button few seconds to shutdown the system completely

I was wondering if someone had this issue and found something, like a kext preventing the system shutdown/restart/sleep ...

Any clue will be welcome !! :)

Thx

Anyone Else get this when they run ps -ef in terminal? Is there a fix for this? I know it's to do with the mouse.. I dont think making a new User Daemon will fix this.. After using the system for about an hour it will no longer let me open applications, giving me the error "unknown error -10810" Maybe 64bit mouse drivers/Touchpad drivers would fix?

Hi blacklabelsktr2,
I have this issue too ! Its because of the ffscrolldaemon, its getting started many many times so the system gets out of memory. If I type "killall -9 ffscrolldaemon" in the terminal I can use the system again....

Does anybody knows how to fix this ?

As picture shown here: http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/6...91013at170.png
I'm beginning to wonder if unchecking "Keep it running at all times" would be a fix, or if that would cause your keyboard and mouse stop functioning all together. I'm too afraid to try things like this out. Somewhere on google I thought I saw a page in reference to the -10810 error, where someone came up with a solution to limit the process to only running 5 active processes (I forget where I saw this.) But this could also be a solution.
Maybe another way could be to rewrite FFScroll completely, but I won't think that would solve the issue really. If interested in trying though see here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...howtopic=88811

Like I said, I haven't actually tried any of them out. Just trying to research to find best solution.

works for me. The problem with the original one is the <key>KeepAlive</key> key. Its obvious that the daemon only has to be started once at startup. Just modify the path to the executable if you've installed it somewhere different.

Thanks thought this could be it. I just used the Ligon application in first post to edit the file. I'll try it out and see if I still have issues.

Working now
 
After much difficulty this kext pack is now mostly working for me (only the trackpad fails). One of the big issues was that the video drivers for GMAX3100 did not work...perhaps they are only good for WXGA and not WXGA+ like I have. In any case, a generous soul provided working drivers in this post:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...post&p=1299847

Another key to success was that (using Chameleon 2 RC3) having extensions in /Extra behaved differently from having them in /System/Library/Extensions. I moved everything to /S/L/E/.

Also note that, while I'm not sure of the necessity of having done so, I booted in Linux, dumped and decompiled the DSDT, edited in the "usual" ways, and recompiled it. I basically followed what you see in the link below:

I forgot to say also that, when I copied the SL install disk over to a USB nerdstick, the D630 refused to boot from it. It was therefore necessary to first install Snow Leopard on the main hard disk using a USB enclosure and nearby Mac Mini (which I also used for terminal work). Then I could transfer the drive over to the D630 for further work.

Note also that when I subsequently used Migration Assistant to transfer from the old Leopard hackintosh setup, it hosed the SL installation. I restored from backup and avoided making that mistake a second time.

OK, but this is the same as from Dell d630 pack, and with this dsdt.aml, I have problem with recognize USB devices
