every time i boot into SL my color profile is set to the default and i have to set it manually. it's always been that way since i first tried 10a380 until 10.6.1 now.
my gfx card is working fine and i had that issue with different enablers and the efi string method.
as a workaround i deleted all profiles except the one i wanna use.

i'm using a 8800gts.

maybe someone noticed the same?

greets

still having that issue with 10.6.2. and that's not all. i'm using nvenabler 0.1 and the display calibrator does create correct profiles BUT when i'm going through the assistant all the settings are not shown. for example, inside display calibrator changing the gamma setting doesn't change the demo pic etc. nobody got these issues, too?

Author Update #2 @tham50 2009-11-19

the problem is i have that same issues no matter what i use: efi, nvenabler, silent_natit ... whatever, always the same.

Author Update #3 @tham50 2010-05-13

looks like the issue has been fixed in 2010-003 although it's not listed as far as i've seen

Field Note #1 @derpuma 2009-11-17

I have seen strange behavior in 10.5.7 with NVenabler and my color profiles! I am using basicColor Display for Calibration and also can create fine Profiles... But with NVEnabler the ColorSync was very unstable, witch let me went to EFI String Method to install my graphics.
After that I had no Probs with my color Settings. 10.6 and 10.6.1 also had random errors in ColorSync. Profiles changed without any reason, etc. 10.6.2 so far seems very stable and I dont have ColorSync Probs right now! And I still do not use Enabler to bring my graphics to work!
