I used the combo update on my BlackBook 2.4 GHz and I am also using an HP LP2475W hooked up via mini-DVI to DVI. I am able to use my external monitor at the full 1920 x 1200 resolution. No problems so far.
Got a tip for us?

Scratch that. I am still having problems with my wireless dropping out even when I am only 10 feet from my router. Is this a problem with my Airport card?
Perhaps because you restarted it? My brother's PowerBook was on for a few months without ever being shutdown or restarted and it doesn't have much RAM so I can see how that might slow it down.
Powermac G5 not booting
So I've gone through the enitre thread about the update after I upgraded and seems like no one else is stuck.
I did the update two days ago and I cant get into the OS. It gets stuck at the Apple logo during boot, then after a while the fans start going and stays like that until I have to force shutdown.
Any suggestions? I've pulled the plug and waited for a couple of minutes and put it back in with no luck.

How do you do that? Is that pressing the open apple,option, shift button? I think I've tried that. Also tried to boot from CD by pressing the C button on powerup.
What the hell did Apple do to this update with so many people having problems?
They sat on it for months!

I think this update may have fixed major problems with my macbook (which has just hit her 3-year mark, btw)....
safari stops freezing
my wireless actually works now - something i've had problems with for the past 6 months.
thank you, apple. anyone else have a similar experience? a lot of the posts on here seem to be negative.

Tried that. didn't work. I was able to get into the Start up manager but not the safe mode.
Power Mac G5 @2GHz dual core, late 2005 with PCIe slots. Only one problem seen after installing 10.5.7, Safari ver. 3.2.3 refuses to load some web sites with Flash, saying I need the latest version installed and pointing me to the Adobe web site. I already have the latest version installed and Camino and Firefox open those sites perfectly.
Tried reinstalling flash, and then repairing permissions, No go Safari!
That's OK with me, as I don't like Safari anyway, but it is a strange glitch.

Only issues I've had since updating is Apple TV keeps dropping out of my iTunes Devices list. Makes it a pain to use Apple TV now; I have to re-boot Apple TV & re-start, re-sync Apple TV otherwise I get the "format not recognized" error. Too bad since I use Apple TV pretty much every day.
I don't get that issue. Sounds like an iTunes problem to me... not a 10.5.7 problem. I don't know how 10.5.7 can mess with Apple TV.
Me neither, but the problems started only after I updated to .7; I've had the most current version of iTunes since it was released... Makes no sense to me either, but the problems are real.
The only problem I have at the moment except heat in regards to iTunes is it keeps asking me 'allow or deny'. Apparently that's due to the firewall in OS X being on and I tried lots of suggestions but nothing works.
Every time I see that dialog I think of Vista...
Then there that Java thing 10.5.7 didn't patch as well.
Otherwise it works well for me I guess.

I have only one problem since I updated and it has happened 3 times now in the last few days
I will use my MacBookPro and close it (without turning it off) and when I re-open it later on, it immediately gives me that system error where I have to re-start by holding down the power button.
Now, I never had this before but have had it done 3 times since updating.
I have run permissions checks, re-started, powered on/off, etc....but nothing seems to fix it.

That's a kernel panic. Here is Apple's advice for recurring kernel panics. General stuff, but maybe of some help.
Try these suggestions:
■
Repair your startup disk, your disk permissions, or both. To do so, start up from your Mac OS X installation disc and use Disk Utility.
■
If you have moved or renamed a Mac OS X system file or folder, then you must reinstall Mac OS X. It won’t work to just replace the specific item.
■
Disconnect all USB and FireWire devices, except for the Apple keyboard and mouse. Remove third-party hardware upgrades such as random–access memory (RAM), microprocessor upgrade cards, and Peripheral Component Interconnect cards. Then try restarting your computer.
If this resolves the issue, reconnect one device at a time, restarting your computer after reconnecting each one, until you’ve determined which device is causing the problem.
■
If the above attempts are unsuccessful, try resetting parameter random-access memory (PRAM). Shut down your computer; then turn it on again and immediately hold down the Command-Option-P-R keys. When you hear the startup sound for the second time, release the keys. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Startup Disk. Make sure that the disk containing Mac OS X is selected.
IMPORTANT: Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
I think there's going to have to be a 10.5.8 if only to fix the Java security bug, because Apple can't afford to wait too long on this one:
No Java fix in OS X 10.5.7 leaves Macs vulnerable, claim security experts
Apple has also issued standalone Java update before, and could just do that if they were not planning on a 10.5.8...
