From my brief examination of the monster-thread, I did not find my MacBookPro5,3 among the tested examples. I will try to keep rechecking on progress in this department, but I don't want to intervene in a working system with my very limited knowledge and skills, particularly since I will be taking my MacBookPro traveling this summer.

Thanks for the suggestions. Now I know what to expect.
