Q: Lion 10.7.2 upgrade and HDMI video issue
This is my configuration:
- Mac Mini 2011
- 4gb ram
- intel i5 processor 2.3ghz
- intel Hd graphics 3000
- hdmi output directly connected with a full hd philips tv with a standard 1.4 hdmi cable
After the 10.7.2 upgrade I had 2 problems:
1) finder infinite loop at startup (but I've solved by deleting the ds_store files that are under desktop and my profile folders)
2) video driver problem
For the second one I haven't find a solution. I'm now rolling back the system to 10.7.1 version
Probably is a problem of the new video driver that is inside the upgrade
I've already try to reset PRAM and NVRAM but it didn't solved...
After 10-15 minutes (with no one program open except finder) the image disappear from the screen for
2/3 seconds and then come back, but all colors are missing. The screen image have a strange "blue" dominant.
To restore the situation to normally I've to go inside preference - monitor and switch to another resolution (for example 1080i)
and then re-select the 1080p again. But after 10-15 minutes the problem reappears. It's impossible to see a movie in this situation...
Does anyone have my same problem and did find a solution?
LATEST NEWS: after system roll-back at 10.7.1 the issue is "magically" disappeared... :)
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

I too ran into the same problem after updating today: had the same problems in Snow Leopard, they got fixed in Lion (finally!) and returned with 10.7.2. It looks like I managed to fix the problem by copying a file from the Lion install that got removed in 10.7.2 (probably because there are multiple support topic of people whose Philips TV wasn't working at all in Lion, and they had to remove this specific file to get it to work!).
Long story short: if you have handshake problems, try the following (of course, at your own risk):
1. Download http://www.mediafire.com/?fdz29bgsg3zm653
2. Unarchive it
3. In the Finder, go to (using cmd-shift-G) the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
4. Place the entire directory you unarchived in step 2 (DisplayVendorID-410c) in the directory /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
5. Reboot
It seems to be working for me, so I hope it is the same for you all!
