NotMeAgain Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 This is because OSX can't set the right resolution for the display, and is sending bad info.This page discusses this phenomenon with possible fixes.http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=208410You may find that an external monitor works fine - but will only show one side of the screen, so you won't be able to do much unless you can guess the locations of Apps/System Prefs/Displays/Correct Resolution Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/253652-gma-x3100-issue-with-snowleopard-1066-1067/#findComment-1733794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
