Last week, 10 november ’07 I’ve installed my mbp with Leopard. Not only with Leopard but also with Tige I have a lot of crashes especially when waking up from sleep mode. These bad crashes don’t apear in my logs which really sucks!

Just today, 20 november, I read upon this and changed the following setting…..

System preferences -> Energy Saver -> Tab Options -> untick “Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep”

Let’s hope this setting will reduce crashed but I really doubt it!

Somehow I find myself accusing the mDNSResponder…. well let’s find out….
