MBP 13" Medio 2010 Lion - Graphics problem

Hello everyone,


I am using a Macbook Pro Medio 2010 with the latest version of Lion at the moment. The video card that is included is the NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB... Anyways, since my update to Lion (and also reinstalled it) I'm having bad graphic issues... Games are glitched, freezing and such and video playback on different websites show me blocky/bugged video's. Here are some screens of the issue.

I'm not sure if the problem lies with my Lion installation, or my Graphics card died at the same time when installing Lion... Could someone help me out what to do here? Not sure if I have to send my MBP to repair or just fix it by waiting for a Lion update or downgrade to Snow Leopard.


Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

Hi,


i also filled a bugreport a long time ago. My report ist marked as a duplicate. The original report is still open.


Maybe it will be fixed wit 10.7.4, because the developers should also focus their tests on "graphic" - maybe this means updated graphic drivers.



It is also interesting that i didn't get the glitches for a long time, but i dont know why. I always update the software, at the moment i use safari, and no glitches.


Lets look forward to 10.7.4! ;-)

I've had this problem as well, i've always thought it was just me. I never once got this glitch in snow leopard, but when i upgraded to lion i kept getting them in google chrome and sometimes in itunes. So i tried Safari and i do get them the odd occasional time but not all the time. Curious, has anyone downgraded to snow leopard and seen these glitches go away?


Thanks, Jordan

10.7.4 is out! Hopefully it is fixed. I would recommend the combo. 10.7.3 Delta caused some problems when it was released ;-)


Still my bugreport (marked as a duplicate of another bug) is still open.

If you still get these glitches, create a bug report. bugreporter.apple.com

It is the best way that apple will fix this. This forums aren't monitored by apple.

@SteveLu are you saying you now get glitches now on 10.7.4?


I have not seen a glitch since upgrading to 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7. I still see a bunch of kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero messages in the Console window, though.


I am not claiming we have a fix, since I was down to about 2 glitches per week, and I've had the 10.7.4 update installed for only about half a week. Nevertheless, I remain hopeful.
