pckrullenbol Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Somewhere in the archives admin Leon mentions that problems with the trackpad after sleep can be solved by a certain app: "I think you need to reload the kext after sleep, there is an app that automatically run a script after it resumes from sleep." But where to find this app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pckrullenbol Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Sleepwather: http://www.bernhard-baehr.de/ Thank you Leon, I downloaded SleepWatcher 2.2. But the next question is, how do I reload the proper kext for getting back my trackpad after sleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Leon Posted April 8, 2012 Administrators Share Posted April 8, 2012 you have to create a shell script and run that ... eg. sudo su mkdir /scripts cd /scripts nano aftersleep.sh type: kextreload press CTRL+O and CTRL+X .. and finally type: chmod 777 /scripts/aftersleep.sh ... and then get sleepeanbler to load that shell script ... or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pckrullenbol Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 kextreload <path to kext> ... or something like that I tried to get this working, but I'm afraid I need some extra help. The instruction 'kextreload' does not exist, but 'kextunload' and 'kextload' are available. I'm using Apple PS extensions (option 1) so I want after sleep this to happen: kextunload /Extra/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext and then kextload /Extra/Extensions/ApplePS2Controller.kext When I try this in Terminal 'kextunload' does not seem to work (even with 'sudo') I get an error: "kext is in use or retained (cannot unload)" OK, then I try kextload (with 'sudo'), the kext is getting (re)loaded without errors, but when I do this after sleep, the problem with the not working trackpad still exists. What do I need to do to het this working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Leon Posted April 14, 2012 Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2012 You have D430 like me, use option no 2. instead - the debug version.. it even have side scroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pckrullenbol Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 You have D430 like me, use option no 2. instead - the debug version.. it even have side scroll Option 2 is slow as hell! Even with the extra VoodooPS PrefPane. I can't believe people are really like using this, or do I have different hardware? But one good thing about this driver is that the trackpad is working correctly after wake-up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Leon Posted April 15, 2012 Administrators Share Posted April 15, 2012 Connect an external USB mouse, set the speed to maximum, restart on test the trackpad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pckrullenbol Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Connect an external USB mouse, set the speed to maximum, restart on test the trackpad I tried this trick, and now have a D430 with a super slow trackpad (and a super quick mouse when I reconnect it)… Exactly what I expected, but should it make a difference?

Administrators Leon Posted April 15, 2012 Administrators Share Posted April 15, 2012 hmm... on mine the trackpad is quite fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
