CustoMac Mini With BlueTooth Trackpad Sleep Tip

[ahallasjr]

I just completed a CustoMac Mini build at 10.7.4 and everything worked fine except SLEEP.
It would try to sleep but immediately wake.
The fix was using the app PleaseSleep and to turn off the trackpad using it's side button.
After the sleep timer runs out the system sleeps. It wakes when the trackpad is turned on.
I am using the F8 DSDT and SSDT for I7 for my H61N.

Cheers!

Awesome, this is working great ! Even if the trackpad is just "disconnected". Thanks ahallasjr.

Is there a way to auto-disconnect the trackpad just before the hackintosh goes to sleep?

I don't know how to turn it off automatically, but if you turn it off using the side button it prolongs the trackpads battery life.

This will do the trick too :

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to sleep'

Just when you need it
