I've used iPC OSx86 10.5.6 PPF5 to install Leopard on a ThinkPad T41 (2373-TG5) with an ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (ID 4c66) and an Atheros WLAN card. I'm running the Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel and AppleSMBIOS-27 rev6 (I think) with a fairly minimal set of OSx86 kexts. The WLAN worked out of the box (thankfully) as did audio ouput (with the AC97 kext), Ethernet and Bluetooth look good (though I haven't tested), USB seems to work (for a Flash drive and a mouse at least), and I can set the display resolution to the native 1400x1050. So far, so good.
My main problem at the moment is getting Sleep (or more specifically, resuming from sleep) working. With only AGPGart.kext and no specific video driver, I get a "System Doze" instead of sleep. If I install the Radeon 9200 support bundle I downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?fym43mk1fon (which includes Callisto b003 (fixed)), it will go to sleep -with the backlight off, but the LCD image still faintly visible (presumably the LCD hasn't actually powered down). However, if I try to wake it with the power button or Fn-F4, it will wake up, the backlight blinks and stays on and it does some disk I/O, but the screen is frozen with no mouse cursor.
If I drop into text mode (">console" at login) and sleep using "pmset sleepnow" or Fn-F4, then it does actually appear to wake up OK,
I've also tried later versions of Callisto (b005, b006, b008) but they all result in a black screen as soon as they initialize at boot-time (even with AltPLLmethod=true). I've also tried installing RadeonTool.kext but that gives me a panic at boot time.
Has anybody else had a similar problem? Is there any known workaround for this that will let it sleep and resume? Will I have more luck with Tiger?
Thanks in advance...
