1.6 Beta 2 with New i7 MBP screen flashes/flickers

frankhsueh · 04-24-2010, 03:47 PM

I have the new MBP with Core i7 processor running 10.6.3 with all current updates. The displaylinked display would flash/flicker when I open applications like Soundtrack Pro, Quicktime Player 7, Movist, Photoshop CS4 and BOTH the main (MBP screen) display and external displaylinked display would flash/flicker when I quit the application. Any fix?

Damnit! I was just about to update too! I'm glad I read your post before I did. If you get the resolved, please update with the fix. Likewise, if others are running the new MacBook Pro and NOT experiencing this problem, please chime in.

Thanks again.

OK, so I took a chance and gave beta 2 a shot. I've been running it almost all day with no issues whatsoever. If I see anything crazy I'll report back but, fingers crossed, I think everything is fine on my end.

I couldn't find any fix to get the problem resolved. Same symptom happened on 1.5 and 1.6b1 and 1.6b2. That wasn't the case when I had my 1st generation Unibody MBP (5,1).

Hi Frank,

Can you please use the tool at http://www.displaylink.com/support/ask_question.php
And let us have the logs? You can attach them here: http://www.displaylink.com/support/ask_question.php

Are the screens continuously flashing or they flash 'only' when the apps are started and closed? During the flashing is anything else happening (resolution change, windows moving, etc.)?

Hi Carlo,

I have attached the log. There are total of 3 of them, from 1.5, 1.6b1 and 1.6b2. I've also included a link to youtube on the symptom I have.
