10.6.7 breaks external monitor support
Before applying the 10.6.7 update, it worked fine going mDP->HDMI->DVI. Afterwords,
the Mac recognizes it and acts as if it's connected, but the monitor does not think it is
(says check cable). I've tried:
- Removing com.apple.windowserver plists.
- SMC reset
- PRAM reset
- Different cables
- Different mDP adaptors
- Reapplied 10.6.7 update
- SwitchResX
- Disconnecting power to the monitor for an hour
Nothing works.
On my old laptop, a ~2009 13" MBP running 10.6.7 with the same cables and adaptors,
the monitor works fine. So something changed in 10.6.7, and not for the better.
