So I installed Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard on my 800MHz iMac G4 using the LeopardAssist program (Which lets you install 10.5 on unsupported Macs). Yes I know it's not technically supported but, it runs fine. Well - besides this.

Something very strange happens. When the iMac wakes up from sleep it's display goes crazy. I can't describe it, but it eventually fades to white and just freezes. I have recorded a video of the problem here. I was just wondering if anyone else has heard of or experienced this. I'll just revert to Tiger (10.4) if this issue doesn't go away.

Any ideas? :confused: :eek:

Problem resolved! Updating to the latest version (10.5.2) and installing the Leopard Graphics Update fixed the issue. Yay! :D But this is good incase anybody else has experience the same issue as I did. :)
