sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ATY_Init.kext
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ATY_Init.kext
sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
exit

Go to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
copy the com.apple.Boot.plist to Your desktop. Open with text edit.
Remove these 2 lines:

Code:

<key>device-properties</key>
	<string>many numbers here :)</string>

Save the file, then copy back to original folder.
If You use Chameleon 2, this file is located in the Leopard partition/Extra folder. Copy here too & reboot.

I had a similar problem with this video card when I flashed it's bios with a similar one (another maker). No injector or efi string could let me change the resolution and I had some artifacts also browsing the web. Finally I flashed back the original bios and it's all right now.
What I mean is that maybe some bios (8400gs line) are the trouble, not the injector.
Anyway it's a bit risky but not impossible but you'll need to get an updated bios file for that.
