Tim Dorr Veteran Posted September 22, 2003 Author Veteran Share Posted September 22, 2003 From the KB article: Enhancements These are some of the enhancements that are a part of the Mac OS X 10.2.8 Update: Windows on external displays connected to some PowerBook computers are drawn better. The Bluetooth menu bar item works better when a Bluetooth USB adapter is disconnected and reconnected. Addresses a situation in which an external FireWire storage device would not become available (mount) and this message would appear: "A disk attempting to mount as 'unknown' has failed. Please use Disk Utility to check the disk." Addresses an issue in which some Bluetooth devices may not be available after the computer wakes from sleep. Addresses an issue in which some Bluetooth keyboards may show a delayed response when you press a key after the computer wakes from sleep. Addresses an issue in which some iBook computers could make a clicking sound when using Mac OS X 10.2.5 or 10.2.6. Reduces a potential delay when removing some devices from the Bluetooth pairing list. Addresses a potential issue in which an audio application can unexpectedly quit when a USB- or FireWire-based audio device is disconnected. Bluetooth preferences correctly displays the Bluetooth menu bar item's status if the item was enabled elsewhere. Includes several enhancements for Safari. Includes support for USB 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFNE Freak Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Does the Bluetooth thing show up regardless of whether your Mac is capable or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbalsh Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 no, you have the option to turn bluetooth on/off from the menu bar in 10.2.6Well I didn't :unsure: Does the Bluetooth thing show up regardless of whether your Mac is capable or not? It only appears if you have a bluetooth dongle or a Mac with built-in bluetooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristotle-dude Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Just a quick note, 10.2.8 fixes the SSH vulnerability: http://macslash.org/comments.pl?sid=3737&o...pid=50170#50236 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted September 23, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 23, 2003 I dunno if it was just on this initial boot since the patch, but it definately seemed noticably slower on boot - you know when the system is loading stuff like 'Core Services' once its booted into the GUI - I might reboot and see if its still slower. Though now that SSH bug is squashed, I can re-enable :D :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
