ND, do you know if Snow Leopard will run Qlab?
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

Uggh. Well, I tried to install Snow Leopard again and the same thing happened as before: It starts to install fine, but at a certain point, the progress screen disappears (it may have rebooted at this point -- I was away from the puter for a couple of minutes when this happened) and in its place I see the small round rotating thingie. After a minute or two of this, the screen goes blank. I'll leave it running for a couple of hours just to see what, if anything happens.
I suppose the DVD may be defective and I should try to exchange it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There is a reboot in the middle of the Snow Leopard install process.

Our wings are not tired
From everything I've been reading Qlab runs fine under Snow Leopard. I'm actually configuring a bunch of Qlab machines right now but I'm playing it save and leaving them on Leopard.

Good to know. But should it be sitting with a blank screen for an hour after it starts to reboot?

No. Maybe Snow Leopard is having a little difficulty recognizing your TV?

OK, funny thing. I rebooted again with my finger on the keyboard eject key to get the DVD out. After it popped out I switched over to the TiVO 'cause C wanted to watch something. An hour or two later, when the TV was free, I switched it back over to the Mac and lo and behold, there was the login screen! Sure enough, 10.6 had been installed and was working!
All was well, I installed some other updates, everything's groovy. Then I took a look at the display resolution options. "Oooooh -- there's 1080p. I don't remember seeing that before. Let me try switching to that one."
Screen goes blank.
How do I change it back? I tried rebooting to no avail. I assume there's some sort of "safe mode" where I can change the display back to where it was?

All is well that ends in pizza.
You might also zap PRAM:
power on, -> immediately press and hold down the Option+Command+P+R keys until three or four startup tones are heard.

OK, thanks. I'll try those in the morning.
