hi. i got a ibook dual usb 500mhz and i try to make it stay turned on while the lid is closed (with the pmud -k option), but after exactly 4 minutes with the lid closed it automatically shuts down.
i stopped pmud and pbbuttonsd and the same thing happened, so i think its something to do with the kernel, maybe the via-pmu.c module. someone mentioned it could be the graphic card, since pmud -k seems to work on ibooks with ati radeon 16/32mb vram, but not on ati rage 8mb vram ibooks and below.. ibook dual usb with 8mb vram: http://www.apple-history.com/ibook_dual_usb.html current ibook with 16/32mb vram: http://www.apple.com/ibook/specs.html look at the buttom of this site, there is some talk about the same problem: http://www.swieskowski.net/code/wifi.php This is a log snippet from pmud started with the command "pmud -ka": Nov 20 23:35:21 pmud[268]: running /etc/power/pwrctl lid-closed battery **machine rebooted here around 23:39:21** Nov 20 23:40:17 rpc.statd[285]: Version 1.0.2 Starting Nov 20 23:40:17 pmud[288]: pmud [treshold = 420, margin = 15] started Nov 20 23:40:17 pmud[288]: PMU version 12: iBook/G3 Pismo/G4 Titanium Nov 20 23:40:17 pmud[288]: daemon stopped (parent exiting [note PID]) Nov 20 23:40:17 pmud[289]: running /etc/power/pwrctl minimum battery This is a log snippet from pmud started with the command "pmud -a": Nov 21 00:11:23 pmud[827]: running /etc/power/pwrctl lid-closed battery Nov 21 00:11:23 pmud[827]: lid closed: request sleep Nov 21 00:11:23 pmud[827]: running /etc/power/pwrctl sleep battery Nov 21 00:11:23 pmud[827]: going to sleep Nov 21 00:15:59 pmud[827]: system awake again Nov 21 00:15:59 pmud[827]: running /etc/power/pwrctl wakeup battery Nov 21 00:15:59 pmud[827]: running /etc/power/pwrctl lid-opened battery any help is much appreciated -ivc
