I'm a bit confuse ... I thought swappin' the "boot" file is basically switchin' the binary ... If I recall correctly I'm using RC2 as the base install since it's the only one that has ability to use EFI partition while the RC3 hacked installer can not (I think similar w/ RC1) ...

I'm using 8400GS on rev2 w/ latest PC-EFI 10.3 now ... how do I find out if I have QE/QI?

Tkx!
for QE/CI check this blog entry by Prasys.

ok ill explain my situation, before RC3 and PC EFI 10.3 were out im using RC1+10.1 on a hidden EFI partition, to make my 9600GT VGA to work w/ QE/CI i need to create an EFI strings and paste it on my boot.plist. Now that RC3 is out i tried it's automatic device properties injection using this below command but after reboot i dont have QE/CI, resolution is ok though but my 9600Gt fan is always on.. the same goes for RC3 + 10.3

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>y</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>

but for RC2 + PC EFI 10.3 it's different, my boot plist is clean w/o EFI strings, i have QE/CI and my 9600GT is displaying on system profiler which before it's empty on RC1+10..1, RC3, or RC3 + 10.3. I dont know if this is specific on my machine which i doubt but i tried it different times and i can conclude it on my machine.



my boot.plist before and after screenshot is here.

oh BTW RC1-RC3 works on a hidden EFI partition
