ok, So i've followed your guide fully, to the degree that i've inputted the code into -s mode meaning I could log into 10.5.8 with my 260 active, and then done all terminal codings with no errors, but then when I come to reboot, it goes back to sleep on start up [monitor] :\

Anyone have any ideas of what im missing?

running a GTX260, which worked on the 285 drivers in 10.5.7 :-/

I have a GTX260 and I've done this, but I cannot get games in full screen to work. Just black screens I have to reboot to get rid of. Otherwise, I'm good. Any ideas?

Quake 4 and Warhammer Online are the games.

Have a missed something vital here :|

Does this guide work for GTX 260M?

Awesome guide.

I'm eyeing on the Dell Alienware m15x which comes with 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260M along with Intel Core i7. Except for the wireless card (hopefully can be swapped for a Dell 1397 PCIe card or better that is supported on SL), it will be a awesome machine running Snow Leopard 10.6.1.

I'm just pasting the info from Dell site:
SYSTEM COLOR Alienware M15x, Cosmic Black
PROCESSOR Intel Core i7 820QM 1.73GHz (3.06GHz Turbo Mode, 8MB Cache)
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
VIDEO CARD 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260M
LCD PANEL 15.6-inch WideFHD 1920x1080 (1080p) WLED
MEMORY 6GB DDR3 at 1333MHz
HARD DRIVE 256GB Solid State Drive
INTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE Slot-Loading Dual Layer Blu-ray Reader (BR-ROM, DVD+-RW, CD-RW)
BATTERY OPTIONS Primary - 9-cell (85Watt) Lithium-Ion Battery
SOUND OPTIONS Internal High-Definition 5.1 Surround Sound Audio
WIRELESS CARDS Intel WiFi Link 5300 802.11AGN Half Mini Card

Please let me know.

Thanks.

I've followed your instructions but am still stuck in a resolution of 1280x1024. I didn't receive any error messages when going through the instructions either. Any ideas? I have the MSI GTX 260 (nVidia). I have a second card in the system too, the nVidia 9800GT but it's not actually connected to a monitor. It's in for PhysX on the Windows side of my system.

UPDATE: Ultimately I had to do a clean install of SL. Everything went perfectly until I use the Migration Assistant. Some setting from the old system transferred over and messed up the new install. So, had to re-install and manually install all my software again. No biggie though considering everything now works.
