X3100 is just showing colors and lines

Hi all

After failing with other instruction sets for the D630 and failing to get QE/CI, I installed all this stuff on a fresh copy of 10.6.0 for my D630, and the system appears to be booting just fine. However, the display simply shows a bunch of colors and lines.

Previously, I had gotten the X3100 to work with Leopard 10.5.2, including QE/CI, so I know it's possible. I still have an image of that disk around so I tried the EFI strings from its com.apple.Boot.plist. That didn't work.

I also tried booting into Debian Linux, whence I dumped the DSDT, decompiled, edited the RTC section, and recompiled it using iasl. Then I put the new DSDT into /Extra. Still no joy.

Can anyone share any other ideas for me? Is there some kext I should try changing or modifying? Some way of generating new EFI strings? A chicken to sacrifice? Help!
