Graphics card problem on MacBook?

[spock74]

I installed ver 3.3 using the Mac OS X installer. The splash page flashes but nothing happens after that. This issue is addressed in the FAQ but it appears to have solutions only for Windows and Linux. Am I missing something obvious?

Mac OS X isn't in the list of the FAQ because nobody reported such a problem repeatedly under Mac OS X.
What version of Mac OS X and what computer do you use?
Would you have a file starting by hs_err_pid containing information about the crash somewhere on your disk?

I can't find anything with hs_err_pid, but here is the info on my computer:
