My USB drives aren’t working (except for keyboard/mouse) any suggestions?

What exactly does not work? Aren’t your drives mounted? What filesystem do you use on these USB drives? More details, plz.

Rebuilt on Kalyway 10.5.2 with minimal mods and now the machine goes to sleep nicely (also swapped in a 7300GT). However, it does not come out of sleep. I have read that this is the standard behavior with this MB. What other magic are you doing? BTW: I can’t run BIOS 7.0.2, I have to run 8.0.1 to recognize my proc (E4600/2.4)

We expect this to be an issue that relates from the graphics adapter. Most likely the 7300GT doesn’t get reset when coming out of sleep. This is a common problem. We decided to take the ATI 2600 (see above) because of this reason. Anyway GMA950 works in sleep mode. Are you sure you got exactly the same MoBo we did?

I removed Natit and custom drivers (the correct way) and reinstalled Leopard Graphics update 1.0. True, I DO get full GMA950 CI/QE support without artifacts w/o Natit (thank you), but still NO sleep or resolution choice beyond 1024×768. Would an EFI GFX string in the boot.plist file help here (or is it unnecessary as my video is obviously recognized)? R U sure that you can get display sleep on a GMA950?

We don’t have experiences with Leo4All or any other “ready-made” installer. For legal reasons we chose to install with the BrazilMac way. Try to reinstall without the Natit drivers. GMA950 most likely is supported without any additional patches…

No sleep for me….

Same config, same BIOS (702 or 801).
Leo4Allv2 10.5.2, EFI_8, vanilla 9.2.2. Native 10.5.2 GMA950 video drivers with NATIT.

No display sleep.

Any ideas?
