First, you need to make sleep work from the Apple menu. Later work on the "lid close" trigger for sleep...

Ah OK, thanks.

Just got a chance to look at this. Sleep from apple menu shuts the system down completely. I installed the hibernate package from Multibeast hoping that might do something but nope, not a sausage, as far as I can tell. I've had a trawl through the forum but can't see anything specific for sleep like a kext or package to enable sleep from the apple menu. What am I looking to change?

UPDATE

I did find a universal sleep enabler kext on OSX86 but it just Kernal Panics on boot with AppleCPUPowerManagement I think.

SleepEnabler is not a good idea. What you want is native sleep. Upload current ioreg, and I'll have a look...

Thanks. Here it is.

Suggestions:
- add DropSSDT=Yes to org.chameleon.Boot.plist
- remove or set to No, GenerateCStates and GeneratePStates in your org.chameleon.Boot.plist
- add DSDT patch "AC Adapter Fix"
- add DSDT patch "Rename GFX0 to IGPU"
- add DSDT patch "6-series USB"
- add DSDT patch "_WAK Arg0 v2"
- add DSDT patch "OS Check Fix"
- add DSDT patch "SMBUS Fix"
- add DSDT patch "Fix Mutex with non-zero SyncLevel"

What are you doing to get battery status? Are you using an AppleACPIPlatform rollback (looks like it)? Looks like your DSDT needs patches for battery is why I ask. Try vanilla AppleACPIPlatform for now and live without battery status. I'll work on a patch if you can get me your native DSDT (I want to be sure this is really the DSDT for this machine).

RehabMan, thanks again. Not sure what is going on myself. I did a time capsule back up before I started playing around with stuff yesterday and restored it when everything went bad. I thought my plist and DSDT were the virgin ones with only the recommended patches and edits you said over the last few days, but I just looked and it is not looking like that at all. I'll restore an earlier back up and check things again and then upload what is hopefully the correct ioreg.

RehabMan, this should be a cleaner system. Boot.Plist is

<key>DropSSDT</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>darkwake=0</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>2</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>

Battery stats came from NeoMurphy's post...Applesmart battery manager is what I have in my notes

Don't forget to send a native DSDT.

RehabMan, sorry for the delay. wasn't able to do this until now. Here is the DSDT I'm running.

I need the DSDT that is untouched (the native DSDT).
