Hello,

I have a bug on OSX. Check this video:

I have a white macbook 13". Core duo 2ghz. Intel GMA 950 (0x27a2)

I think it's because of the configuration or inter graphic card driver but i don't understand why.

This bug doesn't appear when i zoom. It's only when the cursor is on the left of the screen. There is no bug on windows.

Any clue ?

Thanks

Damien

My initial impression is that you've got a "Spaces" (the virtual desktop portion of Mac OS X) configured wonky or something.

Are the settings for "Spaces" all ok?

Does this also happen if you boot from an alternate boot source, say, the OS X Install/Restore CD/DVD?

I already format my hard disk and install a fresh snow leopard. Spaces ar not activated :/

That's a very strange bug -- something I've not seen before.

In order to reload Snow Leopard, you would have to boot from the Snow Leopard DVD -- did the computer exhibit this problem while booted from the DVD, or only after the install was complete and you booted from the hard drive?

If you've got AppleCare coverage that is still active, I would say bring the laptop into an Apple Store and have a Genius take a look.

Yes there was the bug during the installation. When you can see the cursor and when you are unzoomed, there is the bug. No bug in front row, etc

Unfortunately my macbook is out of warranty.

It's like a sync/frequency issue but i don't understand why.

That's curious. I tried to install Kalyway 10.5.2. No bug during the installation (i got the bug with the official one). It was great but then i couldn't boot. I got this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHHvUmp8BJ4
