I have a problem , which apparently is due to a bug of OS X or the Powerbook 12'' Hardware due to the number of people having the same problem : Here is the problem:
I cannot swtich the external video to PAL anymore (using the composite and S-video adapter). That is, in the Display control pannel I can only select modes that are 60 Hz.. However, connecting a monitor using the VGA adapter works fine. The video output used to work fine for a short while after I got my powerbook but then it suddenly stopped ... only NTSC after that :) This is what I tried with no success: -Upgrade to OSX 10.2.6 -Fresh new adapter -Different Data projectors and VCRs (it always shows the external device as 'Display' no matter what is connected) -Resetting the firmware I think it's a matter of not detecting the display properly.... really annoying as the primary use of my powerbook is video stuff.... Apple wanted something really flash.. .but just made something too complicated and buggy.... Is there anybody out there that has this problem ? And has a solution / advice . This is a major flaw of the Powerbook 12'' !! Thanks Guillaume -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
