Display error (from 5.4 prefs import?)

We made on a client an error by not updating to 5.5 and opening once - prior to installing v6 WIP.

Now it seems the display prefs are totally out of control — this is how an empty file looks:

We already deleted the prefs, that was no help.

Does anybody know where to delete / reset sth. to get a standard display setup?
Thanks!

Hi msmr,

I suppose you should send your current systeminformation details too (command: systeminformation). The most problems come from old graphics card drivers. Is your graphic card driver up-to-date?

Cheers

Michael

Thanks, @Michael_Meyer.

The ATI HD 6970M is from 2011, this looks old to me. But the Apple experts here can tell more for sure.

Who could that be?

@dan

Unfortunately, I don’t have this iMac around to test on to see if we can reproduce it. We have seen this sort of thing with older cards and the AMD drivers for on macOS are …disappointing. That said, we have seen some improvement to some drivers in Mojave. I would love to hear if you are still experiencing this in Mojave (10.14.1) or not.

I’m having the same problem yes. I own an iMac of Mid 2011 running High Sierra (Mojave not possible).
I’m guessing this problem is due to the older graphic card yes. Any updates on this?

Thank you.
