cyclonefr Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 We all know downgrading QuickTime fixed it... But many people wouldnt like 7.4.5... I've noticed that Apple silently updated 7.5.5 to 249.24 while the very first rlz was 249.13... So since I've found a link that still have 249.13 build, here it is. http://www.filefactory.com/file/a004413/n/...ncais_19979_dmg Install that, and mouse lag is fixed and you are still on 7.5.5, not just the latest build. My guess it the latest build brings H264 hardware accleration and it's broken somehow so i guess we lose it now...Not the best fix but the best workaround in my opinion for now. I noticed installing it via the normal installer wouldnt reinstall everything, even removing the receipt, so make sure you install this pkg via Pacifist, and voilà Enjoy ! PS : How will EFIX we able to make this new Quicktime fit on their USB thumb ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHunt79 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I don't think I'm getting any lag - maybe I'm one of the lucky ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 so far it only affects 8600 and 8800/9800 (G84 and G92) users. If you are one of them, and dont experience any lag, check your Quicktime version and see if it's 7.5.5 (249.13) and not (249.24=mouse lag) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonefr Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 specially if you leave QT or Itunes running, you can notice if you choose About Itunes, when the text scroll you can see the lag with the mouse and text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real3x Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 A very painful lag that i'd too. Now im running with QT 249.13 build and its fine, no more mouse lag in QT. Maybe a good thing if people who have lag, tell us what kext, boot (hardware if no sign) they use. For me : AppleDecrypt.kextAppleSMBIOSEFI.kext Disabler.kext LegacyAppleAHCIPort.kext LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA.kext LegacyHDAController.kext LegacyHDAPlatformDriver.kext LegacyIOAHCIBlockStorage.kext LegacyJMicronATA.kext OpenHaltRestart.kext OpenHaltRestart.kext PCEFI V9 + DSDT and kexts in extra (Extensions.mkext) - my 8800GT is a palit (512 mo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 kexts arent the prob, only 8800 GT and some 8600/8500 GT users are reporting it so far... Even with only appledecrypt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellarola Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 From what I've seen, people using Steermouse don't have the mouse lag issue when equipped with an 8800/8600 Nvidia. That is to say they still have video lag, but don't notice it because it's like a 2ms interrupt every 4 seconds. Workarounds: -Install this old quicktime or -Install 10.5.5 graphic drivers ---------- Since I use Logitech Control Center for my MX Revolution, I get the lag, sadly. Hopefully Apple will update Quicktime again and fix this problem. I'd like to know if any Mac Pro users with 8800 cards are experiencing this problem. -Stell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leoopardoo Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm using steermouse and have mouse lags as well... I agree with Cyclonefr that this issue appears only on GFX's with G84 or G92 chips. However, based on info I have from other people having this problem, it seems that probably modified versions of GFX cards are affected (e.g. I have stock OC'd Gigabyte 8800GT). Also, durring startup I have corrupted background image showed for a second - is it somehow related to this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac3bcn Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I've 8600 GT512 and I don't have any mouse lag with 10.5.6, I also use AppleDecrypt and USB Apple Keyboard with Mighty Mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschar1 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I am one of the lucky ones with no problems and 8800gt with 512mb (not overclocked -passively cooled). MacPro Users seem to have similar problems after updating 10.5.6(http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1828126&tstart=0) I am using Munkys isntall method (mkext from EFI Volume) with DSDT patched and USB Kexts IOUSBMassStorageClass, AppleUSBEHCI, AppleUSBOHCI, AppleUSBUHCI from SLICE (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=117029&pid=965341&mode=threaded&start=). Thanks SLice, your patches are working very well. Reduced teh errors in Console remarkably Other kexts in mkext (dsmos,IntelCPUPMDisabler, SMBiosEnabler, LegacyAppleAHCI, LegacyAppleIntelPIIXATA,LegacyOAHCIBlockStorage (the last 3 from Netkas.org), Openahltrestartand RealtekR1000 (from Psystar) Only AppleHDA (from Taruga) in SLE. EFI Strings for GFX,Ethernet and Sound. Absolutely no problems with video and mouse (Logitech vx Revolution - but no Logitech Control Center installed) and Quicktime newest version installed. Hope you all will find a solution quickly. I would first uninstall Logirtech Control Center. This Software has been a real pain in the past on my real Macs. Give the patches of Slice a try.
