[QUOTE="kungfusnwbrdr, post: 864981, member: 107258"] Ok, so my co-worker and also a long time Mac user, [URL="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2004318&start=45&tstart=0"]found a thread about this problem[/URL] on Apple's forums. Apparently this has been an issue since early May. One of the users posted some nice directions on using SwitchResX and I followed them setting the Timing Parameters to match those as listed in my exported EDID information. I could get the new resolution to show up, but it would still not function correctly. If this is a known issue since early May, I'd like to know why Apple has still not provided a fix to this?!?! I've called the Apple store and will be bringing my MBP and display into the store for them to look at, but I suspect I've gone deeper than they will so it might be a waste of time. I may see if we can get a 10.5.6 laptop to work properly, and if that works see if I can get them to give me a new laptop with 10.5.6 and just migrate my data and applications. [/QUOTE]
