[MacTUG] FYI: Apple issues Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter Firmware Update

[Glenn Anderson]

Apple appears to be distributing a new firmware update that will  
attempt to address flickering and blank video issues on the latest  
generation of MiniDisplay Port-equipped Macs connected to external  
displays using the company's Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter.

The Cupertino-based company is believed to have been working on the  
update since last fall when early adopters of the new unibody MacBook  
Pros began experiencing issues when connected to an external display,  
where the display would sporadically lose signal for a few seconds  
and flick back on.

Since then, it appears that external display issues have spread to a  
variety of other new Macs equipped with Mini DisplayPorts, in  
particular the new Mac mini.
