Apple today released Mini DisplayPort to VGA Firmware Update 1.0 for all Mini DisplayPort-enabled Macs.

This firmware update addresses intermittent flickering and compatibility issues such as no video on some external displays when using the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter on your Mini DisplayPort enabled Mac.

The update weighs in at 11.4 MB and requires OS X 10.5.6.
