Possibly useful information for Mac freezes

I never had any of the problems that so man people report, until just recently. Monday, the client crashed on startup. I tried all the usual solutions with no luck.

Then, it dawned on me that Sunday I had Calibrated my monitor for Photoshop. Hmmm. So, I went beck into the Display/Calibrate screen and reset to factory defaults. SL works again.

I have not investigated to see exactly what the problem is, but perhaps there are others out there who would benifit from this...

Good luck,

Alas, no such luck with mine: it still crashes when I reset to default Apple Studio Display. Too bad; for this would have explained why I was initially able to stop the crashing by creating a new user account: the new account would have the default display settings.

I think the best solution is to remove the lines of code that invoke the new login interface, which was introduced in the 25 October upgrade. I've had no login problems at all since going back to the original login screen. There is a message in the "November 1 client upgrade" thread that tells you how to do this.

For some reason, the Lindens have not even acknowledged that the new (and pointless) login interface is the source of the problem. The fix is obvious, and trivial to implement. But many Mac users have had to put up with this for weeks now.
