From a Mac forum I'm subscribed to, and my own tests (on an iBook G4 with 10.4.8) here is what I know: - The new features are disabled by default and, when activated, are an effect only on very specific (and uncommon) apps like UCSF Chimera (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera) and requires specific equipment (http://www.reald.com/scientific/crystaleyes.asp). - All seems fine on PPC, but there are multiple reports of a problem on Intel (division by zero which prevents OpenOffice from starting). - On my own little iBook G4, all KDE apps (fink-compiled), Gimp (from gimp.app) and OpenOffice (official standalone installer) work fine after the upgrade. - I haven't tried compiling anything. -- Thibaut Cousin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
