Monitor with wrong resolution after 10.5.7 update!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

OK, sweet!! Mac Mini running a Hanns-G 28" monitor with a DVI to HDMI connector. Im happy to report that 10.5.8 fixed it for me instantly. I'm now able to enjoy my monitor @ 1920X1200 for the first time since 10.5.7. Thanks Apple. But no thanks to Apple for leaving me in the dark all this time. I filed 2 bug reports and during this whole endeavor never heard one word of encouragement or hope for an upcoming fix. Apple your too uppity for me I'm afraid. I do like the _ out of this thing though!!

I was having a similar problem as everyone in this thread. The 10.5.8 update fixed the issue for me. I am now running my monitor's native 1920x1200 resolution via HDMI.

I'm wondering if the 1360 x 768 resolution is fixed? Is that what you have, cizko?

Bad news all the way around, but I'm interested in hearing what Stephane has to say.

For the moment, I'm waiting for the source code to appear, and then I'll compare. As I'm personnally not having(any of) the problem(s), I can't say if it's solved or not.

It seems to have fixed the problem for me.

I had just reverted from 10.5.7 back to 10.5.6 two days ago.

Py problem was display related but not exactly the same as everyone else has mentioned.

But its all fixed now.

Funny that the little drop-down menu here in the forum does not yet list 10.5.8 as an option.

10.5.8 fixed the problem for me too.

Fixed! I had the same problem as everyone in this thread. The 10.5.8 update has fixed the issue for me via HDMI. The 1920 x 1200 resolution now appears in the Displays preference panel as it did prior to 10.5.7. Thanks Apple!

I posted on this forum in it's infancy about an issue I had with my MacBook and my 39LG5000 1080p TV. I'm using Mini-DVI->DVI->HDMI and 10.5.7 removed the option to run my TV at full HD resolution (1280x1080).

I've not yet tried to install 10.5.8 but would be interested to hear if anyone else had any success in driving HD TVs at 1080p after experiencing the problem in 10.5.7 and upgrading to 10.5.8.

I will install 10.5.8 as soon possible, as it can't break things more than they're broken at the moment from a display perspective.

Fixed for me too!

I have a Mac Mini (first gen Intel) with a Westinghouse LCD monitor connected via HDMI (1920x1200).

The 10.5.7 update only gave me 1920x1080, so I restored from a backup and waited for 10.5.8.

10.5.8 seems to work fine (full 1920x1200 resolution). I did notice that during a reboot (while it's transitioning from white screen->light blue screen->my desktop), it'll temporarily show a grey 'bar' along either the top or bottom of the screen (as if it's in 1920x1080 resolution), but it corrects itself by the time it shows the full desktop.

I'm glad Apple finally addressed this problem! I'm not happy with Apple's failure to acknowledge the problem until now...

Still haven't heard from the 1360 x 768 folks, but I guess I'll try the upgrade tonight when I get home.

1360 x 768 also works!

I have a previous gen MacMini connected to a Sony Bravia KDL32P3000 via HDMI. I guess I had the same problem everyone else had after 10.5.7, I ended up downgrading to 10.5.6 after switchresx pulled a real number on me. Now, however, after 10.5.8, everything is exactly as it should be.

Now Apple, why did it have to take this long to come up with that fix, hmm???

Bit of clarification for my earlier post.

10.5.8 not having the desired effect.
Mac Mini > Samsung HDTV
DVI to HDMI cable.
1360x768.

On my MBPro I had
- Wide screen 24" LG L246WH 1920x1200
- Bluetooth mouse MX1000
- Airport connection

with 10.5.7, I lost all those devices, results :
- screen in 1920 x 1080
- bluetooth mouse strange behavior (disconnected after a few minutes)
- airport connection lost

plus, the same day... one ******* stuck pixel on my macbook pro screen. Fine day to boycott Apple products/upgrade politic/update choices, etc.
Besides that, I got my files on network but I did not have Time Machine with 10.5.6 system backed up.
Very black day.

I am "testing" 10.5.8 since few hours and it seems to be fine :
My DVI to HDMI LG screen run with his native resolution selected by default 1920 x 1200
My mouse still run after some hours, not disconnected
And I have not test the wifi yet but I hope it will be fine.

so, to answer this topic and give piece of information for LG owner :
resolution problem solved for me with 10.5.8 update -> back to native 1920 x 1200 with dvi to hdmi cable.
