Thinkpads Forum

Sorry I had this on the wrong forum...I had no idea there was an OS-X on a ThinkPad sub forum

I think a few of you guys are running this setup too. I just installed OS X over the weekend with Vista. Everything is working fine but I have these two small problems.

1. The clocks keep changing in Vista and OS X each time I boot into each OS.

2. Power managment no longer avialable under Energy Save in OS X.

I have Kalyway 10.5.1 and upgraded to 10.5.2 using the patches.

Thanks for any help!

To clarify, the energy savings options don't work on OS X but they still work on Vista - is this correct?

The clocks are not synched/are off-time - is this correct?

Now some questions of my own:
-Does the sound driver work?
-Does the Trackpoint work? I'd like to try this on an X61s, and if there's no Trackpoint support there's no point.
-Are you using Vista x64 or 32-bit?
-Did you dual partition or install on the same partition? Is it possible that installing the OS's on separate partitions would help to avoid the problems you've faced with the clocks?

Please post any other info, and congrats on the Hackintosh TP.

Correct. Vista works. OS X worked until the 10.5.2 update. From reading around it is something that just happens. I also read there is way to enable it but I have not tried it yet. It's really no big deal unless it is not using the maxium performance settings. Not sure but performance seems to be the same.

The clocks are not synched/are off-time - is this correct?

Not synced. Boot into OS X the time is off by a few hours. Boot back to Vista time is off. Set time in either OS and the clocks are correct until you boot into different OS.

Now some questions of my own:
-Does the sound driver work?
-Does the Trackpoint work? I'd like to try this on an X61s, and if there's no Trackpoint support there's no point.

Sound driver works. Need a patch and edit a file depending on what sound card you have.

Trackpoint works on my system and every other device on laptop.

Vista X64

1 hard drive and two partitions. Vista was installed. I created new partition, installed OS X, played around with the dual boot setup and all works. Not sure if using different drives will cure the clock problem. OS X uses darwin boot loader and EFI so I am guessing the bootloader or the EFI is not getting the right time from the motherboard BIOS. I posted in another forum after searching for a solution but have not found one yet.

Thanks, give me a bit and I will post the steps I did. There are a lot of quides and different flavors of OS X so for what I wanted I had to use kind of a hybrid setup from different guides.

Everything works as normal besides the two minor issues I asked about. Just have to find the solutions and I am tired of looking for now.

Input and output or output only?

on the clock, simple question, have you reset the time in the bios? and made sure in both vista and leopard the time is set to sync to network?

I have a T60-8743 and sound (out, not tested in) worked fine with the Azalia packages.

Output only.

yes I did all that but still had troubles with the clocks. create a couple of new files with someone commands for the clocks and now all works good.

Vista stores time in bios as actual time (i.e. w/ timezone).

OSX stores time in bios as GMT and does an offset based on timezone.

Hence why they don't get along. Linux has the ability to be configured to do either.
