Hi all, new here...
I know it's a bit of an old system:
2006 MBP 15" 2.33C2D, ATI X1600 256mb, 2Gb ram.
Everything worked fine under 10.4.8, then when I upgraded to 10.5 about 6 months ago, white flickering pixels (artifacts?) showed up mostly in black areas in itunes movies and some quick time movies.
After failing to find a solution, I've gone ahead and upgraded now to 10.6, and instead of the problem going away at actually got worse. Now I still have these whites flickers in the movies and also have a similar looking problem on the Dashboard. Though not white spots, mostly red and green and flickering with the refresh rates of the affected widgets. All of them.
I reverted back to 10.4 and the problem goes away, and comes back again with 10.6 reinstallation, seemingly ruling out failing hardware. The temperatures of the system are low, everything below 50C.
Hard to believe I'm the only one seeing this, but I've been looking for a solution for a long time and have never come across a similar complaint.
Anyone seen this before?
Thanks!!
