Cintiq 20WSX No Worky in Snow Leopard
Posted August 30th, 2009 in Oddities.
In case you didn’t catch my twatting on Twitter, the Cintiq 20WSX’s display goes googly-moogly after upgrading to Snow Leopard. It’s not like Wacom had months of anticipatory development time to ensure it’s compatibility or anything!
Apple support forum discussion on the topic.
I sure do love my $2400 brick!

Yet another reason for me to hold off on updating. Thanks for the warning!
I hear Parallels doesn’t work either.

Yup! Parellels is my only app that doesn’t work. It’s a bit of a biggie, though!

Update: Third party app named SwitchResX allows you to set a custom (correct) refresh rate of 60hz at the native resolution. Kludgy, but it fixes the problem.

first: thanks for posting your efforts, my 20WSX is due back from repairs from Wacom today and I installed Snow Leopard last night–so am anticipating trouble
second: do i understand it right that you have the tablet working properly with SL?
lastly: amazing work!

Yes; after using SwitchResX to set a custom resolution/refresh rate, I was able to get the 20WSX alive and kicking. The latest post on my blog has a download link for the former.
Thanks!
