I've made several complaints about this in various threads, but I just realized I never actually filed a bug report. How careless of me
Machine:
10.7.1
GA-EP45-UD3R
Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 6670 (from recommended build thread)
Chimera 1.5.3
Basically the situation is this:
- If I boot with GraphicsEnabler=N or if I use an older Chimera which does not correctly detect my framebuffer as Bulrushes, apps like Steam and DVD player crash but if I press CTRL-Shift-Eject then I can successfully force the card to put my monitor into DPMS sleep mode.
- If I use the latest Chimera, or a hacked older chimera which CORRECTLY detects my framebuffer as Bulrushes, then when I press CTRL-Shift-Eject the screen does NOT DPMS sleep, instead it seems to freeze any animation on screen but the card does not send my monitor the signal to sleep.
I'm at a loss for how to proceed. I don't know if this is a problem with the ATI 6000 kexts, the new Chimera code, or what.
I'd be very grateful if anyone could advise. I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to help debug this problem.
Thanks!
