well then you need to know what video you have thats definitely a start.... the problem could be a dsdt fix thats needed or a kext or graphics injection in boot plist, so boot to bios and in the first section of the bios it should say what hardware you have. at least it does on a d620.

 

It says Quadro NVS 120M, I reset my kexts and tried it with D820 with nvidia and display sleep still doesn't work. However I would get a blue screen if I switched resolutions. That's fixed though. I can see the desktop and the resolution changes.

Bronxteck, you ROCK - I reinstalled using your boot image, everything works PERFECTLY except wireless because it's the Intel card. I did need to have a USB mouse plugged in during install.

 

andrew, are you able to come back from your display going to sleep? also, how about changing your resolution. can you see your desktop on your new resolution?

 

if yes, can you give me a quick summation of the steps you used?

 

this is mine.

-boot using the d620.iso

-swap out dvds with my osx install

-installed osx

-booted again with the d620 iso to boot into my osx install

-installed edp 1.8

-tried to configure the right things.

 

everything works for me except the display wont come back from sleep (suspending the laptop works fine)

it also just shows a blue screen if i try to change the resolution.

Good question. What's the best way for me to find out what graphics chipset I'm running? I tried looking it up by service tag but I couldn't identify anything that was a definite answer.

 

 

Nope, switching it to the D620 Intel version didn't work. The weird thing is I also noticed that if I switch resolutions, the screen will just turn blue. I can hit up and down to switch to a diff resolution but the blue screen still stays there. The only quick way to fix it is to close the lid of my laptop to start the suspend. When I open it back up my screen is back.

 

Weird. This is the only thing that's not working.

well the "sleep fix" in "fixes" is not a kext it is a terminal command that sets hibernate mode to 0. if you need more info in terminal type man pmset... that will give you the literature for the pmset command

 

ps i forgot to ask what graphics are you running because that can affect alot of things like my previous recommendation. if it's intel gma945/950 then do the build with d620-intel, but only if it's intel. definetly before you do that though try the option in fixes section of edp

check edp option under fixes ther's one for sleep try it. if not try building for d620 intel

 

Alright I'll try that tonight. Does the screen sleep use the same .kext's as the actual suspend?

Thanks guys. I got it to boot and install. The only issue I'm running into is when I come out of display sleep, the screen is all messed up and I can't make out anything. The only way for me to solve this quickly is to put the laptop to sleep or hard reset.

 

Anyone know what I can do to make the screen come back from display sleep correctly. My actual laptop suspend works fine.

i don't understand... have you already installed osx to the hard drive? if so you need to put the disc back in to boot then install chameleon and edp once osx finishes the install

 

Well I can't get to the install screen.

 

I booted with the Chameleon CD. Then I switched the cd out with my osx install dvd. I hit F5 until the Install DVD option comes up. I click it. It goes into a grey screen with an apple logo and just has the loading image. I left it on for 30 minutes and all it did was display a loading image.

I'm using this site as a reference to try to install OSX 10.6.4 (the only copy of OSX I have): http://www.r2x2.com/users/lsb/weblog/1b8db/

 

I can get to the point where I swap out the Chameleon boot disk and my install dvd. However, it just boots into an apple loading screen and hangs there.

 

My bios firmware version is A10.

 

What am I doing wrong? What are my options?

 

Thanks
