Macs that go to sleep but never wake

Koalawalawala

On my PowerBook 1GHz, any kernel after 2.6.3-benh2 causes a crash when I put the poor thing to sleep. I haven't read a thing about it in the forums. Is no one else afflicted?

I'm using pbbuttonsd v.0.5.11, apmd v.3.2.1_p4.

Same here on a Titanium PowerBook 500MHz. I don't know what the deal is. Though at least it sleeps unlike my 15" Aluminium PowerBook 1.25GHz

Same Problem here on my ibook when using 2.6.4, 2.6.5 kernels. Trying to put it to sleep causes a kernel oops and that is it. :evil:

I don´t know what causes the problem but at least I´m not alone.

For the g4 ibook: actually we don't konw how to restart the ati chipset after a sleep. I've heard that benh is going to obtain this informations from ati's engineers as soon as possibile.
For the g4 pbook: I think it has the same problem of G4 ibook, but with another video card.

The only thing we've to do is wait...

Micron, since you seem to be informed on this sort of thing, do you have any idea what the status of sleep on the Aluminiun PowerBooks is?

Is there a mailing list or some place I can monitor for information on this? Thanks.

Thanks for the info micron.
The strange thing is that I´m having this problem on a g3 ibook and sleep works fine up to kernel 2.6.3-benh2.

Sorry for my poor english...

I am not sure that's same as my case.

4 days ago
I had re setting my kernel (2.6.4-pegasos) for using my digital camera(nikon coolpix 4300) and usb audio(xitel hifi-link dg2). with hotplug and alsa-dirver.
After setting , I can use them all everything fine.

but, I know my kernel has problem when sleep mode.
about, 2 or 3 time re setting kernel. that problem has gone.

I am not sure which kernel part make that happen.
I just check my kernel log, but I don't remember.. and
I try to remove useless part from kernel. Serial IDE-cdrom(I am using SCSI emulater.) and so on.
I just suspect under somthing I2C hardware bus support even if that stay modules, but not sure.

After that all thing work fine with camera and usb audio.

My iBook is G3 600Mh
gcc version is 3.2.3 20030422
pbbuttonsd version is 0.5.11
x11 is xorg-11 6.7.0
kernel ppc-development-sources-2.6.4

No, sorry that´s not what I meant. (Didn´t make myself clear probably).

Sleep on G3 ibooks works fine, but only up to kernel 2.6.3.
It is broken in newer kernel versions, that is my problem.

The ATI hardware is really a problem for linux users on Albooks.

Could we sum up all the subsequent difficulties :
- no video acceleration. What can we expect there ? Last time I checked, the news were bad also (long wait before it is supported)
- sleep mode ? I did not expect the ATI hardware to suck it up...

What else ?
More information about the video acceleration ?

Regards,

Xavier

I got a Radeon 9600... Newer so probably better but less supported !

I am sure it is a good card. However, I almost never use MacOS so I cannot use
video acceleration.
