Even more ironic...

...that people have not installed it.

That firmware update for iMac's has been out for a year. There were posts all over Apple's support pages shortly after 10.1 came out - putting 10.1 on an iMac is enough to make the screen go funny colours and horribly distorted at boot time.

HOWEVER - at the rear of the CRT iMacs is a plastic cover with normal video out socket inside. Plug any external monitor into this and you will have perfect video on that.

Also I found a few quick reboots should (though not always) make the screen come back to something resembling normal, at least long enough to install the update.

And yes it is a permanent fix.
