[MacTUG] MacBook and Boot Camp: access to HDs and controlling Cinema Display

[Marlon A. Griffith]

MacWindows. September 25, 2006 -- Michael Perbix sent us an update to 
his report, http://www.macwindows.com/#092006b, of last week 
regarding problems with Mac Pro and DMA access to hard drives using 
Boot Camp: He also recommends a Windows utility for controlling the 
Apple Cinema display from within Windows.

     I did a full update to Windows XP and then re-installed the Apple 
drivers.  I also plugged and unplugged my speakers from the back 
jack, to the front headphone hack back to the back jack. The RealTek 
HD Audio Manager actually recognized the back port and the front 
port, and recognized where I was plugging and unplugging from. The 
sound then started to work as it should.

     I also found a nice utility called WinACD for controlling the 
Apple Cinema Display (brightness etc) from Windows.

     I still have an issue with artifacting of certain colors on my 
30" display.  If I dumb the resolution down to 800x600 then back up 
to full resolution the color fixes itself until next reboot. I have 
yet to find a permanent solution to that.
