| Graphics Nightmare on Leo.... Hi All. I am not sure what's going on but I have been plagued by lines on the monitor for nearly a month now - I suspect as a result of applying the fix from the apple site for Leo. On top of this I am experiencing frequent lock ups and in particular poor performance with firefox. These lines appear randomly - sometimes on the desktop, sometimes in the active application like dirty great schatches of colour horizontally across the screen I have a generation 1 Intel 24" iMac which I bought on the day it was launched. It is the acrylic one. I have since upgraded to Leo from Tiger and added the new keyboard (another mess as far as I am concerned - as a graphic designer I now need to use hotk eys to access the F keys as they have all been mapped to dashboard functions or similar. Wow! Great Shakes!!!) and although I had one or two problems initially they were not as bad as they are now. I had no graphics problems to speak of but applied this patch thinking it might somehow improve areas I wasn't aware of.... The opposite seems to be the case.... Can this be removed without wrecking my current install? I hope so as the least fuss to resolve the problem would be the most appealing solution. Similarly can I wind back from Leo to Tiger without losing my files? These are the most important things I feel for now but anyone else having the frequency of system lock ups and problems with firefox? I have recently upgraded my memory from 1Gb to 2Gb but seems to make no difference to performance at all..... Thanks in advance....

| Do the lines show up in screenshots? If so, post one. (apple-shift-3 or 4). If not, you have a hardware issue.

| Wow, I missed that option for the keyboard. That's very helpful, even though it wasn't directed at me. Thanks, simbalala.

| Does it still happen if you reset your Pram letting the "bong" happen 3 times, then let the keys go to let the Mac boot. This might help.
