Snow leopard on X60s

[Sebinouse]

I have done a clean install method for 10.6.2 in french and in english ... based on this page.

The files you need are here

Update : English

[Sebinouse]

Since nothing else seems to be working, I am now in the (long) process of fixing the DSDT. Not much result for now, except that I can now use native brightness control and I don't need a modded IOATAFamily.kext anymore. Also the GMA950 works with the Vanilla kexts, even without an EFI string.

Next up are:
- Sleep
- Correct FSB detection
- Fix the Firewire error that slows down the boot process

I also decided to give DSDT Fixing a try. I manage in addition to fix:
- AHCI (no more AHCIPortInjector.kext and IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext in /E/E)
- AppleHDA (don't need to delete AppleHDA.kext from /S/L/E, but require VoodooHDA in /E/E)
- Vanila SpeedStep (no NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, SleepEnabler.kext and VoodooPowerMini.kext)
- EHCI / UHCI (right device id)

But as you were previously, I am stuck with:
- Firewire
- Sleep

For the sleep issue, here is a log of the sleep/wake sequence :

ApplePS2Mouse: Unexpected data from PS/2 controller.

Next Step will be to get rid of AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext

Next Step will be to get rid of AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext

I don't think that's ever going to be possible. Original Mac use USB bus for internal keyboard/trackpad connection. Most of other laptops use PS2, and unless there's BIOS level emulation of USB for PS2, you cannot do much with it.

But as were previously, I am stuck with:
- Firewire

I don't have Firewire in T60p, but I've seen some DSDT fixes for it. Have you tried this method:

But I still have this error on boot :

Code: Select all

As I don't have any FireWire device with me, I don't know if it really works ...

Do you know where to put the third part of you code, I have never seen this for firewire ... I used this topic for the DSDT patch : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. ... pic=196359 ... thanks

[Sebinouse]

Here is my latest DSDT with ... http://www.mediafire.com/?znxltvwgd5v

• DTGP to enable other fix

• IntelGMA950 Support

• Native Brightness Control

• IOATAFamily.kext fix

• AHCI Support (1)

• AppleHDA Disabler (2)

• Vanilla SpeedStep (3)

• EHCI/UHCI Fix (4)

• HPET Fix (4)

• RTC Fix (4)

(1) : AHCIPortInjector.kext and IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext can be deleted
(2) : AppleHDA.kext can remain unchanged (and be with VoodooHDA.kext) in S/L/E
(3) : NullCPUPowerManagement.kext and VoodooPowerMini.kext can be deleted, 5 P-States for Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU L2400 @ 1.66GHz (in theory we no longer need SleepEnabler.kext also ...)
(4) : May be required for sleep ...

Edit: I've got some random KP with power management ... just add NullCPUPowerManagement.kext to boot again and then delete it again

[martin255]

I got my X60s working again, currently installing Snow. I am impatient to test your new DSDT and will try to help getting sleep to work.

[Sebinouse]

Once you have 10.6.2 working on you X60, you can download my /Extra folder, Run AsereBLN installer, remove/restore any custom kext in /S/L/E and then run pfix ... this might work for you as well ... let me know !

[martin255]

Just using your E/E folder 'as is' does not work for me. It might be because I did not follow the same install procedure, or something else entirely, I don't know.

Anyway, I am now using your DSDT, a legacy kext for Wifi support, fakemsc, VoodooMonitor, VoodooTSCSync, VoodooHDA, VoodooPS2Controller/ACPIPS2Nub, VoodooBattery, and VoodooSDHC. Sleep does not work - it's impossible to wake.

The other problem I have is with VoodooHDA - when I try to enable mic support, everything seems to work, but I actually have no sound anymore. The mic is not essential to me so I might switch back to AppleAzaliaAudio.

What kind of battery life are you getting with Vanilla Speedstep? My temps are bad (idle at around 60°C), and so is battery life (3-4h on an 8-cell). I had way better results with VooodooPower.

Also, I did take a look inside your legacy kext. Can you explain what each fix does? I don't have a tablet, so I'm not sure which fixes are useful for me.

In any case thanks for your hard work. Without your efforts I would not even have tried to reinstall Snow Leo.

Switch to AppleAzaliaAudio for now, and Sleep will work. This is now known problem with 60-series ThinkPads. I will have vanilla AppleHDA solution ready to replace Azalia sometime soon.

Check my DSDT guide, you need to make sure that you have C-states and P-states active, that will lower your temps. Vanilla SpeedStep can bring temps lower than VoodooPower solution, but you have to work for it.

[martin255]

Thanks for your advice. I was actually planing to also participate in your thread about DSDT patching, but you were quicker than me!

I will try AppleAzaliaAudio and work on Vanilla Speedstep, and report back.

[Sebinouse]

I noticed that DSDT SpeedStep doesn't work at all with VoodooBattery ... that would explain your 60° idle temp and that's why i used AppleACPIBattery which is compatible .

I guess VanillaSpeedStep can also be improved : I just copy/paste the C-States from Silencer's, I have a very good idle temps around 45° but I also have audio/video lags ... for the moment I am still using VoodooPower !

About Audio and Sleep, I already tried Azalia and VoodooHDA in almost every configuration (E/E, S/L/E), sleep works but no keyboard and no mouse on wake ... According to me it comes from PS2 driver which cannot wake the track point for some reason ...

Lag is easy to fix - check my guide and find DSDT fixes for PIC and TIMR devices.

What PS2 kexts are you using? I have now no problem with waking and using keyboard or trackpoint.

[Sebinouse]

... you are right that one was really easy to fix ! (I should have paid more attention reading your guide !)

What PS2 kexts are you using? I have now no problem with waking and using keyboard or trackpoint.

I have tried many of them ... including yours ...

My problem is with ApplePS2Mouse.kext ... once deleted sleep/wake works ! But I really don't understand why !
I am still looking for a solution (my X60 is a tablet so I can use a pointer instead of the trackpoint ...)

Pointer - you mean trackpad or trackpoint? Red nubbin is trackpoint

[Sebinouse]

I mean the magnetic pen provided with the x60t to use directly on the screen ... it's a real TabletMac with either Sleep or trackpoint (the x60t has no trackpad)

Oh, in that case I won't be able to help, since I have to means of testing this.

[ernstloeffel]

he probably means the tablet pen.

i'm following this thread for a while. i have a x60t and i'm running leopard currently. as soon as sleep is working reliably i'll make the switch.

[martin255]

Well, *beep* me, sleep works on my X60s. Perfectly. I finally had the time to carefully read Silencer's DSDT thread and to try Sebinouse's Extra folder, and voilà, it works like a charm. So all credit goes to you guys. I even get the Trackpoint back on wake using VoodooPS2 instead of ApplePS2Controller (this version: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.p ... 718.0.html , and you should remove the Mouse plugin from inside the kext).

Now, I will concentrate on the last missing piece: Vanilla Speedstep. I am using the DSDT and legacy kext from Sebinouse but for some reason it does not work (no c-states), even though we have the exact same CPU.

Also, this is not a priority, but I found this thread relating to the Firewire error messages on boot: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php?topic=200.0 . What I don't understand is that according to the thread, it should already work.

Anyway this is unbelievably great news! I sold my X200s in December to get a more OS X-compatible Thinkpad, and now I am really glad I did.

[Silencer]

Now, I will concentrate on the last missing piece: Vanilla Speedstep. I am using the DSDT and legacy kext from Sebinouse but for some reason it does not work (no c-states), even though we have the exact same CPU.

Extract your SSDT tables as explained in my guide, and send me your DSDT, SSDT, SMBIOS.plist and legacy kext you're using. I will then have a look, where you might have a problem.

Good news ! Even if it doesn't work for me ... I have still the same ApplePS2Mouse issue on wake ... by the way did you remove the Mouse plugin or the Trackpad plugin ?

And for the vanilla speedstep ... I used a MacbookPro1,1 model for the smbios.plist / legacy kext and I never generated SSDT table I just pasted the content of Silencer's ... and it worked for me ... to get the SSDT table you can use ACPIDumper

[Sebinouse]

Finally I got my X60t to wake properly ! :at last:

The problem was due to unexpected data from ApplePS2Mouse.kext, so I tried to use SleepWatcher ... and i made 2 script (rc.sleep and rc.wakeup) to unload AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext and ApplePS2Controller.kext from /E/E/ on sleep and load them on wake ...

You can download the files here
Place rc.sleep and rc.wakeup in /etc/
chmod +x these two files
That's it !

[ernstloeffel]

Finally I got my X60t to wake properly ! :at last:

can you summarize what's working for you, and what not at the moment? and also, what installation method did you use? sorry for asking noob questions, i'm beginner with os x.

is tablet mode working with tablet magic?

could you maybe post all of your kexts, dsdt and all changed files? i have the latest x60t bios 1.15 which is out for quite a while, so i suppose you probably have the same and i won't have to go through the hazzle of dsdt patching myself.

i have put an atheros ar9280 wifi into my x60t (with hacked bios), it's an original apple pcie card from latest 2009 macbook pro - full 11n with just 2 antennas. it's the main reason for upgrading, because the card doesn't work in leopard and the old atheros card didnt work well.

The link for my files can be found in this thread : old installation method, updated EE to keep SLE clean ... I will update this guide when i have enough time ...

i have put an atheros ar9280 wifi into my x60t (with hacked bios), it's an original apple pcie card from latest 2009 macbook pro - full 11n with just 2 antennas. it's the main reason for upgrading, because the card doesn't work in leopard and the old atheros card didnt work well.

You just have to edit info.plist in Atherosfix.kext or LegacyX60t.kext and modify the Vendor/Devide Id.

Keep us adviced ...

thank you for your summary.

i think my new card *should* just work without any changes, i'll report back here. besides the probs i had with the old original atheros ar5001x+ under os x, another reason for upgrading the wifi card was that the new 9-series consumes considerably less power, has 11n and has optimized drivers for windows 7 (the old card drew ~ 8w when downloading large files with 2 mb/s where the new card consumes max ~ 4w).

Here are the file you requested, Silencer: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/602349/X60s-martin255.zip I would be really grateful if you could have a look someday. I don't have much time to tinker at the moment, but I will try to work on it on my own too.

Anyway, other than that everything works pretty well. I lose brightness control when waking from sleep, though, so I will probably switch back to Fn+Home/End.

that's really old. there have been a lot of fixes since then, including acpi fixes and in particular a "lid close" fix in 1.12

have a look here:

i gave sl a try now. my atheros ar9280 is working since i updated to 10.6.2 out of the box.

however, sleep, sound and tablet don't work for me. i had tablet working, but then it stopped working and i don't see what caused it to stop working.

same with sound: it sometimes works, but then again it just stops working and sound control gets disabled.

same with sleep. i think i have patched my dsdt correctly, but only the hdd stops spinning when i close the lid and the screen remains active. also, the lid close event was working with another boot loader (i now use the recommended asere which fixes restart etc), but with the old boot loader the pc restartet as soon as i reopened the lid.

do you have a clue what's wrong?

i have uploaded my dsdt here:

this is my extra folder (basically sebinhouses folder with altered voodoops2controller with new ultranav driver from other thread here, works for me):

sleep, sound and tablet don't work for me.

Here is my latest working config :
DSDT with DTGP/HPET/RTC/IOATAFamily/AHCI/Brightness/Speedstep/IntelGMA950/...
Extentions :
ApplePS2Controller (I think you can use VoodooPS2 but you have to delete ApplePS2 ...)
VoodooMonitor removed
AsereBLN 1.1.9

With this configuration Sound should work.

For sleep you have to installthese files (and update rc.sleep and rc.wakeup if you use VoodooPS2) as I did earlier in this thread.

For tablet, you config should work ... did you check "Launch Daemon on startup" in TabletMagic PrefPane ... My tablet stopped working under Leo when this box was checked

PS: Do you have an Intel GMA950 with the genuine screen ? My boot resolution is only 1024x768 ... and yours 1400x1050 !!!

thank you very much! i'm just running pfix now. i've a l7500 core2duo and indeed a genuine sxga+ screen. i'm now using a modified t60p legacy kext based on silencer for that reason (core2duo) and your dsdt.
