Hi,
I searched long and hard for an answer to this problem and have come up with nothing so far. I'm running a UGA USB to DVI adapter on a MacBook Pro 3,1. I believe the adapter uses the 165 chip (tops out at 1080p). The adapter works generally perfectly on Lion 10.7.3, using the latest stable DL drivers (1.7), and I was pleasantly surprised to see little significant lag, with even youtube videos playing fine (if not when full screen).
The problem is I can't get the screen to colour calibrate. I'm using BasICColor 5, which completed OK (though with a big DE error for black), but the screen clearly has a slight reddish cast compared to my other screens. When I try to manually adjust it via Apple's Calibration Assistant, the controls have no effect. Clicking on different profiles has minimal effect. I read in an old FAQ that DL didn't allow calibration before 10.6.2 - does this mean it should be OK now? Any workarounds? I could connect my display directly with DVI to do the calibration, but there's no point if I can't get the profile to stick.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
