Has anyone with the 667 VGA TiBook upgraded to 10.3.3 yet? If so, does it resolve the problem with changing resolutions and color depths? I hope it does...

edit: At least one person on the apple discussion forums reports that the problem is solved.

The issue (starting with 10.3) was with changing resolutions, color depth, or running any fullscreen apps that changed either... when the the display setting were changed, the screen would just go blank � nothing but the blue screen. everything was still functional, you just couldn't see anything. This affected the first gigabit ethernet 667 Titanium Powerbooks, with 16MB ATI graphics and VGA output. It also affected some of the 550Mhz TiBooks as well. The problem wasn't apparent on a second display (if one was attached), but persisted on the main display. The problem also handicapped color calibration and such.

It seems that the update has solved the problem, as everythinis now working as it should.
