MacBook Pro and ATI X1600 Graphics Card
I love my first generation 17" MacBook Pro, but a few weeks ago I started having issues with the display. Horizontal lines, blocks of gradient color, random display freezes, and now distorted or stretched images. It only happens once the laptop gets into "normal" operating temperatures (CPU @ 150F, GPU @ 130F.)
Rather than re-write everything that's been written, I'll just post the links I've found regarding this issue. If you're having the same problems, feel free to post your findings in the comments below.
