I like to watch films when I go to bed at night. I hook up my MB to my tv using the DVI to Video adapter. I hadn't had problems for a few months but over time I pick up more and more applications that may have effected it and I have no clue what the culprit is.
The movie plays fine and all that jazz, I eventually fall asleep and it goes in to sleep mode or at least shuts off the display. When I wake up and unhook the connector and the resolution switches back everything works fine (maybe a few windows resized and in weird position), but iChat is always gimpy. It won't allow me to get to my buddylist, it appears as a weird metallic grey line. I just close iChat and reopen, but I miss whatever IMs i received during those hours. I doubt anyone will know how to solve this unless this specifically has happened to them. I've tried closing certain apps and getting rid of them to find out what changed from the past to the present, but no luck yet. Some of the apps I think may be involved are Spirited Away, Growl?, Chax....Anyone have any ideas?
