10.6.8 Display Issue

I've got the same issue.

But until now, I wasn't able to find a solution for this problem.

 

yeah me too

 

Interesting only thing i have noticed is my Mac seems to be turning its brightness up. Turn my brightness way down (Off ish) and it slowly turns itself back up. Haven't been bothered to setup any shortcuts to turning the screen off yet so yeah

 

go to energysaver and change display sleep and computer sleep to never.
this way the screen is not turning on automatically when you hit f1 to make it sleep. only fix right now

 

Has somebody found a solution for our problem?

i test for days, and think maybe the gfxCardStatus fault. everything going fine if i turn it off.

 

So sad, but i don't use gfxCardStatus. I got a 13" MacBook Pro.

The problem ist the same, when i create and login with a new user.

 

so its a 10.6.8 bug? any1 has try to down to 10.6.7 to see if still have the problem yet?

 

No, sorry. But the problem came up with the Update 10.6.8.

I changed nothing else.

 

I am having the same issue.

But in addition to this issue, after the 10.6.8 update when I use the expose to put my display to sleep (top right corner) the display wouldn't come back on after about 2 or three times in a row of doing this, but the keyboard lights up. I have to shut the lid, let it sleep, and pray my display comes back on and or push the power button, etc. to try to get the screen to come back on.

I was also experiencing battery life issues after the update to 10.6.8 but I found out the problem was a conflict with Parallels 6 and the Windows Applications folder.

I noticed this problem in March on my 2011 mbp - forget what version of 10.6.x was out, but it predates 10.6.8...

 

I'm having the same problem. Has anybody found a fix yet?
