Hi, I did this a few months ago and sleep was working perfectly however recently, I’m not sure what’s happened maybe there was an update or something, the dsdt has stopped working and when i try to put it to sleep it just wakes up after a second goes to sleep wakes up continuously! Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I am running 10.5.8

i am quite often bumping across the web most of the night which means that I have a propensity to read a whole lot, which is not commonly a beneficial factor as some of the sites I visit are constructed of worthless nonsense copied from several other sites a million times, however I have to compliment you because this webpage is in truth enjoyable and even includes some authentic material, for that reason thanks for removing the fad of exactly duplicating other individual’s blogs, if you ever wanna take up a few hands of myspace poker together with me just send me a message – you have my e-mail

THIS IS JUST PLAIN STUPID, WHY DON’T YOU SAY WHAT IS THE CODE FOR DSDT FIX, CAUSE IT IS NOT ADVISED TO USE DSDTS FROM PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF RAM!

@Mihai: A link to the file is at the top of the page. Just unzip and copy the file to the root of your OS drive. That worked for me.

What can I do if I had no dsdt.aml before will it work for me?

I am a PC. I don’t know much about Mac’s and I am only doing this because I want to try to create iPhone Apps that can only be built on Macs. Anyway, what do you mean copy it to the “Macintosh HD” (I know you mean the hard drive I am not that bad) but what directory does the file go into. The root of the drive or some sub-directory? Please do use shorthand or abbreviations because I will not know what you are talking about. Remember I am a PC

swer: ok guys i tried this trick and i guess i dont have chameleon, so now i cant wake my display at all to remove this file, any help will be appreciated

Try to boot with -x and if that doesnt work after you startup try pressing the powerbutton and then press s which should get your computer to sleep.

can you tell me what changes have you made ? or can you share unmodified dsdt.dsl so I can
figure out the changes myself?

Basically, I’m trying to get X3100 working on D630

thanks!

Hey guys, can you help me?
After a long time using my inspiron hackintosh with absolutely no problem, these days I got some problems. Sometimes I go sleep tonight and leave my notebook on, then when I wake up the other day and open the lid, the screen is black an nothing respond (the only way is force shutoff and turn it on again).

It’s weird, because I’m using this sleep solution (with DSDT.aml) and all this time I didn’t have NO ISSUE, until now.

Anyone know sonething about this?

Thanks

Surendra: can somebody provide me dsdt.aml for inspiron 1520, its very similar to this laptop and my graphics card is GMA X3100 or if anybody can help me generate this file for my laptop. I also want to get rid of sleep trick. Please everybody help me in this.

DSDT.aml file is on the very top of this page, if the hardware is the same as the 1525 it should work.

You can generate your own dsdt by following these instructions

1) Download DSDT patcher by fassl ( http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=133683 ).

2) Doubleclick the DSDT Patcher file, follow the instruction there, i think i had to choose either mac, vista or something else, pick mac

3) once it’s done, a dsdt_fixed.txt file will be created in the debug folder.

4) open the dsdt_fixed.txt file and search for the following
Under Device(VID) remove the Device(TV) declaration (about 24 line)
Under Device(VID) remove the Device(CRT) declaration (about 24 line)
Under Device(VID) remove the Device(DVI) declaration (about 24 line)

5) once you remove those lines, save the file.

6) open terminal, drag the file name iasl (in the tool folder) into terminal, a path of the file iasl will appear in terminal, then you hit space and type “-ta dsdt_fixed.txt” (w/o quotes), and hit enter

example: ../Tools/iasl -ta dsdt_fixed.txt

7) then type “sudo cp ” (no qutoes) and drag the file dsdt.aml in the terminal, the path of the file dsdt.aml wil appear in terminal, then you hit space and type “/” (w/o quotes)

example: sudo cp dsdt.aml /

reboot the computer and it should work.

THANKS ! this worked.

I instaled 10.5.6 XxX with Chameleon and DSDT patch enabled

booted into framebuffer mode
[1] turned sleep off and options power sleeps computer off (I never use these, i’m an “always
on” type of laptop user)

copied all my 10.5.7 GMA kexts and installed them

wow it works. amazed.

I have found that Icons or desktop image are always dissapearing in a non stable way after any installation or change in the system. All I do is I go to the DISK UTILITY and REPAIR PERMISSIONS, then reboot and problem solved.

Hope it helps.

Fernando: Could it be traces of a sleep fix? I don’t understand how this is possible, the sleep function int erfere on the trackpad and make it don’t work right. I don’t think that avoid FFScroll and make a script (as the user did) is the best way to solve this. Genaro, what kexts on the extensions folder have relation with sleep function?Thanks by the way…

This is deeper than a sleep problem, it's still unknown as to why the function comes back for some and not for others, I'm using the same kexts as the ones found here.

I think it’s OK now.
On startup the screen goes black just one time (switching between apple loading and login screen). And now the login wallpaper appears (it was a blue solid before).

Thanks one more time Genaro!
Now I have to solve:
- “trackpad tapping” disabling with system sleep…

Yes …. I came here exactly to tell Eduardo how to do this…
I installed pacifist and and discovery those files. I also deleted:

System>Library>LaunchAgents>org.nawcom.ResDaemon.plist
and
usr>bin>cscreen
usr>bin>RedDaemon

Genaro Bonilla: To both of you, try this. Open terminal and typesudo -s*enter your password* and then run theserm -rf /Library/PrivilegedHelperToolsrm -rf /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.nawcom.Sleep_Login.plist

Fernando: Genaro, it would be great if you could help me with this. When I did the sleep trick I used this patch: “Screen_Sleeper_Solution_Installer.pkg”. Because of this, I have no idea of where or what to clean on my mac HD.ps.: I don’t have a previous dsdt.aml file in my hd. Is there any problem?

EduardoRG: Genaro: Sorry we bother you with questions about others “solutions” found somewhere else. I think we should stick to ask you about the great solutions you provide here. I think that bringing advices or solutions (even from somewhere else) about a common problem to a topic of yours can be good, but I think I did wrong in asking you to give me solutions from problems found somewhere else, like if you were responsible for the problems we get into from solutions found somewhere else… for that I apologize.I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I am trying to press F8 after selecting MAC in Chameleon, to be able to insert the -f command, but the darwin boot loader never appears to give me that option. If I press F8 before Chameleon, it just give the option to select which primary partition I want to boot from. Thanks again,Eduardo

You shouldn't feel sorry for any of that and normally I would have time to help you guys out but currently I have a lot of school stuff to do and I'm a bit overwhelmed and can't look through the installer. To boot on chameleon 2 with -f just press f8 and then type -f you'll see it appear at the bottom of the screen. or you can press the down key. and options will appear.

The previous 5 comments deal with the same thing, I’m unaware of what this package installs and I don’t have time to figure it out completely, I’m really sorry. You can go ask antyalias as it seems this is where most of you got this tip from.

You can install the dsdt.aml and disable auto-login if you’d like or you can open up to package with “Pacifist” and look around at what it installs.
