Thanks for the reply, hope you can work the native speed step out. I would like to help, just let me know. BTW i solved the CPU speed issue by using a smbiosresolve.kext. Not sure whether it is the bluetooth problem or other things. The laptop sleeps and wakes up well when Wireless switch is turned off. However the machine wakes up immediately after sleep when the switch is on.

I had issues with bluetooth so what I did was rename AppleHPET.kext to .old (in case of KP) and modified IOBluetoothFamily.kext then the Broadcom's 8448 to 8464 (0x2100 to 0x2110)

I tried your DSDT, it does fix my problem with waking up immediately. However the Bluetooth and the network seems shut down, which further indicates the problem is related to the network switch in DSDT or the bios.
The brightness control is odd, i suggest you to delete it from DSDT. another thing is the USB fix in DSDT, you forgot to add the device ID.

I have an X61 running almost perfectly on 10.6.2. Everything works the way I hoped it would, except perhaps random crashes of skype every hour or so. The more annoying thing is that battery life is very short, I get at best 45 minutes to 1 hour of use out of a fully charged, 2200 mAh (smaller version) battery. In WIndows the same battery should give about 3 hours. Anyone experience something similar?

Hi all,
I have X61 tablet and 10.6.4 installed and more or less, everything is working except bluetooth.
I don't know why, but I can't turn on bluetooth in windows to keep it turned on for mac os x. Every time it just turns off. I have newest bios installed and there is no option such as 'keep it turned on all the time'.
Chipset is Broadcom (vendor ID: hex 0A5C) and product ID is hex 2110 (rev hex 0100).
I tried to mess with \System\Library\Extensions\IOBluetoothFamily.kext\ Contents\PlugIns\BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController .kext\Contents\Info.plist ut with no success.

Is there anybody who can point me out to the right direction of fixing this problem in dsdt?

Regards,
Ivan

You have to fix the HPET section. The example is in sammy's uploads

Hi, does anyone encounter such problem on vanilla 10.6.3.
When my X61 goes to sleep, everything is fine. While it wakes up, it seems that the USB ports don't work any more. For example, the USB disk will be ejected when the system is going to sleep and the USB mouse is inactive after wakeup. How to fix this problem. Thanks.
