    The first time I restarted my Macbook pro (leopard)
    after downloading and installing their latest release 10.5.2
    it displays to my external monitor.
    But the highest resolution setting it allows for under
    system preference is 1400 x 900. Which is the Macbook pros res.
    However my external is 1650 x 1050, but it is not even an option to click.
    Can anyone help on this?
    Ps this was not a problem before the 10.5.2 download and install.
