scrubbing doesn't work on external monitor (from viewer)?

when i scrub through a sequence, external video (via kona card) displays (and scrubs) fine.

when i scrub through a clip in the viewer, it functions correctly in the cinema display, but the external video freezes on the initial frame and then jumps to whatever frame i'm at when i stop scrubbing. although, if i scrub veeeerrry slooowly it will work.

any advice or settings i can tweak to be able to scrub through the clips and view it on the external monitor? maybe the system isn't quite powerful enough?

all the specs of the system/project are below.
thanks much.

System:
fcp 6.0.4

leopard 10.5.5

Mac Pro 2 X 3ghz dual core
6 GB ram

with 23" hd cinema display
20" JVC DTV HD monitor
Kona LHE

storage: 4Bay MacGurus Burly w/ 4X 1TB Seagate Barracuda SATA drives (7200rpm)
connected via eSATA (Lycom 4 Port PCIe SATAII Host Card)

footage: p2, 720/24pn (DVCPro 720p 59.94) loaded into FCP via Raylight
 
now there is an updated behavior.

when i'm playing from the timeline or the viewer, external video plays fine...but the video freezes in the canvas and viewer windows.

scrubbing works for both the canvas and the external monitor, but when scrubbing from viewer, external signal is stuck.

anyone? please?

i'm just going to continue this as a monologue as i figure this out, in case, in the future, someone has the same issue.

i found out from chuck spaulding at lafcpug.org that the scrubbing problem was simply because scrubbing is disabled when luma/chroma is set to display.

the other problem, i'm not so sure about. possibly a settings issue...
