Release Notes |
Computers with a graphics chip of the ATI RADEON X2000 series using Mac OS X 10.5.2 with Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 are not capable of rendering the output feature "Screen Display" correctly: Mac systems which use a graphics processor of the RADEON X2000 series made by AMD/ATI show significant problems when activating the option "Show Screen Display" in the application. A rectangular area with graphical errors appears behind the screen display output. The 10.5.2 graphics drivers for the X2000 series are not mature enough to display this feature correctly.
Workaround: Update to Mac OS X 10.5.3 to fix this problem.
When using Mac OS X Leopard with a computer containing an NVIDIA GeForce graphics chip, the whole screen output may unexpectantly stop responding ("freeze") when using certain graphics features of the application: Mac systems which use Mac OS X 10.5.x and a graphics processor of the NVIDIA GeForce series may fail during normal operation because the Leopard drivers are not yet working correctly. The driver is losing the connection to the graphics processor and does not recover.
Workaround: Restart the computer and open the Console application. Check if either the message "NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel exception!" or "NVChannel(GL): Graphics channel timeout!" have been recorded by Mac OS X in the system log for the time when the screen stopped responding. If yes, contact Apple stating the problem and suggest that the graphics card or its drivers have to be replaced.
After waking from sleep mode, the Main Logic Board Air Inlet sensor of some Power Macintosh G5 Dual Core systems shows negative or no readings: When a dual core PowerMac G5 wakes from sleep mode, the temperature reading of the air inlet sensor may show incorrect values.
Workaround: This is a known defect in specific versions of Mac OS X Tiger. This particular sensor is not correctly woken up by the operating system. We have made Apple aware of this problem and hope they will resolve it in future versions of Mac OS X. In the meantime, you can restart the computer to reset the sensor hardware, or disable data acquisition for this sensor in the preferences of the application.
