I've just tested this and managed to repeat it. I noticed in most sims my avitar goes solid black. TP to Morris all is well. TP out of Morris to an area with lights, all is well. TP to an area without lights my avitar goes solid black. I theorized this may have to deal with some kind of local lighting issue. Rez'd one cube, set it as a lightsource. Avitar still black, so I copy it. Still black. Once I reached 6 lightsources my avitar returned to normal.
The update is tomarrow, hope they fix this.

I'm not seeing this at all, I'm using an RADEON X800 GTO x86/SSE2, per the About SL info, with latest NGO modified ATI drivers, which are based on the latest ATI drivers. We should have a place where we can store our system specs so we don't have to keep repeating them all the time.

Yeah I just did another test, apparently this only happens if 6 light sources don't exist in the entire sim. Went to a sandbox and rezed 6 cubes with lights and flew to the other end of the sim. My skin stayed normal. Goto a sim without light sources at all, my avitar goes black. Seeing how everything will end up with lights sooner or later the only problematic sims I foresee causing an issue is linden owned sims like the vehicle testing areas and dead water sims unless they plan to put in light sources like stop lights and sea monsters lol.
Specs:
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (1.9ghz)
1 gig ram
XFX Geforce 6600GT 128MB AGP (Overclocked)
I'm also running the latest official (not leaked) OEM beta drivers (91.23) with coolbits2 installed.
BTW, the new 92.23 drivers are sweet so far. I don't drop below 20FPS in most areas (15 in heavy build areas like Grignano) with AF cranked up to 8x and AA cranked up to 4x.
