Hi! My 15" Macbook Pro 4,1 occasionally fails to apply its color profile, resulting in the screen taking on a "blue tint".

I've searched for other posts about this problem (there are plenty) and my situation seems to be a little different: instead of being totally arbitrary or a sleep issue, this ONLY happens when I play games. Tribes 2 via Crossover and Doom 3 both cause the tint, but interestingly Diablo 2 does not, leading me to think it's perhaps a 3D acceleration issue?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... I know this is a rather obscure glitch but I figure there has to be SOMEONE who's run into this.

are you using a custom profile or the standard one that comes on the machine?
