Hi James, I reinstalled Leopard and the problem seems resolved so far. I'll apply the 10.5.6 combo update and see how it works tomorrow. Forgive my very slow work. I don't have much time doing this.
I'll also manually update and x11 from 10.5.7 update package. There is some nice tool to do so, but I prefer pkgtool + gzcat | cpio + cp way for doing so. I'll let you guys know how it works as well, hopefully tomorrow.
