Thanks for the suggestions. I took a look at the BIOS settings and I have all of them pretty much the same - I've now got identical bios settings and still have the problem. I alos tried running edp with a different audio option and apple battery. Still the same behaviour. My Bluetooth is the dw 360 - which works fine in my windows 7 partition with the latest driver.

Sorry for my delayed response - I'm using PS2 driver 4 Here are my complete EDP settings (the default for D630 Nvidia) PS2 driver: 4 Audio driver: 4 Battery driver: 0 Install NullCPUPowerManagement: yes Install SleepEnabler: yes Install VoodooTSCsync: yes Use custom kernel: no Use custom chameleon: no Emulated speedstep: yes

I just did a clean install of SL and updated to 10.6.8 before installing and running EDP. This time I used the downloadable Beta EDP installer from here http://www.osxlatitude.com/edp/download/ When I ran EDP the version was given as: -- OSXLatitude E.D.P Version #4 (Rev: 12) ------ I used the user defined config for D630 intel 1400x900 which includes: - NullCPUPowerManagement - SleepEnabler - VoodooTSCsync - Emulated SpeedStep I ran the hibernation fix. The result is the same - Bluetooth is lost on waking from sleep. The loss is random, sometimes if I put the system to sleep and wake it it's fine: but usually after the second or third time it goes off. Closing the lid to enter sleep mode seems more likely to disable bluetooth. My only other issue is that the trackpad control freaks out if I use it straight after logging in as described here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1797-track-pad-stuck-in-horizontal/ I'm not sure if this is related - but it happens on all of my machines also.

Hervé - I have done everything the same as you have (except I also used the 'touch' option in EDP. I'm using the latest version of EDP. Perhaps it's Bluetooth hardware related?

I have Snow Leopard installed on 3 x D630 intel machines. The machines all sleep and wake OK - except that bluetooth is lost. Sometimes the bluetooth sybmol is greyed out with a line through it - other times the symbol is gone completely. The bluetooth blue LED is always lit. The only way to recover bluetooth function is to restart the machine. I have searched the forum to see if anyone else has this issue, or if it is a known problem but I don't see anything. I'm using the latest EDP.

Actually the bug has re-surfaced. In Mac OS9 it was possible to change the load order of extensions - if there was a method to do this in OSX this might fix this. Guess I can live with it / work around it though.

Is it possible to get native Apple CPU power management working on a Dell D630? Every time I try I get a kernel panic on boot. NullCPU and Voodoo PStateMenu setup work - but impair performance, in particular flash based HD video playback (PStateChanger - predecessor to PStateMenu works much better but is a separate app).

It's the VoodooPS2 I'm using. I just found out that the issue only occurs with the admin account - so I deleted the prefs relating to trackpad and so far this seems to have fixed the problem. It looks like the prefs from previous trackpad configurations I tried was causing the glitch.

I have Snow Leopard successfully installed on D630 Nividia and D630 Intel machines. I've used the latest EDP and stuck with the default / recommended install settings. All is well - except, when the machines boot up - straight after login IF the user uses the trackpad immediately - the cursor movement goes crazy and sticks to the horizontal plane as well as randomly doing right clicks. The only way to get it back to normal is to do a forced restart. If the trackpad isn't touched for a few seconds after login - it's fine. So there seems to be a 'window' where the trakpad controller can crash directly on login. Is this a known bug? I can obviously work around this - but it would be good to eliminate this behaviour of course.

Thanks Hervé I did find that setting in the bios but it seemed to have no effect - I've since found that the USB key I was using to test it with was defective. Now - when on power supply - USB ports are kept alive when sleeping / waking. Great!

I am wondering if there is a way to prevent usb drives from being disconnected when my D630 sleeps? At the moment when the machine wakes the drive is unmounted and I get a warning message telling me the drive was not put away properly. This happens on battery and mains power.

Thanks for confirming this. I'm very happy with the overall results of SL on my D630.

I have successfully installed SL on an intel D630 using EDP 3. I tried using 192 but had sleep issues and 777777s on wakeup. My main issue now is that the trackpad seems to get confused when 2 finger scrolling is enabled. The cursor becomes jerky - stopping and starting - basically impossible to use. I used the default ps2 options for intel D630 hi-res in the EPD3 config. If I disable scrolling in prefs it's ok. Maybe the trackpad hardware on the D630 is just too old to work with scrolling gestures? I just wonder if anyone else has managed to get trackpad scrolling working with a D630. Also - a minor but puzzling point: There is no option to disable Bluetooth. The 'off' option is greyed out. Is this to be expected? Thanks for any info!
