Fixed: Kernel panic when using external hdtv monitor

In late August, I reported an issue to Apple about a kernel panic when using external hdtv monitor. I decided to check again last night (randomly) and guess what.. no panic, everything works! I really don't know which update did it, but I would guess the fix came in the 10.4.8 update. This is good news because I can finally use my laptop as a movie player like I originally wanted to. Of course I'll need to go out and purchase a Mini-Toslink adapter or cable to hook up sound to my receiver but that shouldn't be too big of a deal.
