Latest update: (copied from VWR-1978 - Meta-issue: 2007 MacBook Pro (nVidia 8600M GT) issues) Hi everyone, I have been in contact with Apple regarding this issue. This is what we know: * There are driver issues specific to the nVidia 8600M GT on MacBook Pros. * Apple knows about this. * nVidia knows about this. * Other graphics-intensive apps are seeing similar issues. * There is no date for a fix right now. * I am having regular follow up calls with our Apple Partnership Manager. * This is high priority for Second Life, but there is not much we can do at Linden Lab. I am sorry for the lack of updates. I’m not convinced this is anything more than a summary of what we knew before, but I’m hearing that’s better than silence. Another workaround (aside from reloggding) is to toggle fullscreen modes. This deletes and re-creates your GL context. Thanks to Runitai Linden for that insight, and other debugging help.
