Do I need a DVI display to properly change screen resolution?

I have this after installing iPC 10.5.6:

NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT:

Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 512 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0402
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: NVdarwin 1.2.5
Displays:
Display Connector:
Status: No Display Connected
Acer X163W:

Depth: 32-Bit Color
Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off

and now, i am running on OS X 10.5.7

but I get a blue screen whenever I've tried to change display resolutions. i've tried nvinject. My display doesn't have a DVI out or am i missing something? Would greatly appreciate any insights you guys might have. Thanks.
