Machine: MacBook Intel Core Duo (not the Core 2 Duo, which came later)
Specs: 2.0GHz/250GB/4GB.
I just installed the newest version of DesktopBSD (v1.7), which runs FreeBSD 7.2 as the core. The OS works great, and I am impressed with what I see so far. However, when I go to shutdown (using KDE's system menu), the computer does not turn off.
Oddly enough, the chain of events seems to correctly shutdown the computer. The log proceeds all the way until the point where it shows the system uptime. Then, the text is cleared. However, the backlight stays on, and the hard drive does not spin down. I have to manually power down by holding in the power button.
Is this an issue with FreeBSD 7.2? I have seen some info concerning FreeBSD 7.3 incorporating a new/better backlight module for Macbooks. Could this be my issue? If so, I would need to know how to A) upgrade my FreeBSD to 7.3 (while keeping DesktopBSD intact) or B) how to install this module on my system.
Any info is appreciated. Thanks!!
