I've been working on trying to get QE/CI working right for a long long time now. Here are my specs(That are relevant).

Dell e521 (modified)
nForce 430 chipset w/ onboard nVidia GPU I never use. I believe it's 6150 LE.. Not positive.
AMD Athlon 6000+ x2
nVidia GeForce 9800 GT 512MB(Made by eVGA)

My first experiences with OSX86 were good. I got everything running smoothly. Except QE/CI. I was using Leo4All v3 Which is 10.5.2. I was able to use an EFI string so it detected my card properly, or so I thought, but I couldn't get QE/CI. I found out that it just didn't have the kexts for it. I downloaded a new "distro" iPC 10.5.6. I noticed after the first boot that when I moved windows they would glitch up(Will upload a picture soon). This has been bothering me.

Now.. To my current problem. I have sound and everything working, I think, but still no QE/CI. I've tried using the nVidia 9000 series drivers v2 and then using EFI strings.. but after I reboot it's all laggy and glitchy. I'm starting out fresh.. I'd like someone to guide me through what they would do (with some degree of detail) if they were trying to get this card working correctly.

I'm begging for replies.. Anything is sincerely appreciated.. I'll try anything I can comprehend.

Hello,

Did you already try to enable QE with OSx86Tools? Maybe you could give it a try.
Make sure you really have the right Drivers for your Card installed.

EDIT: If your System has the right Driver for your GPU loaded maybe this

>> http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t8472.html

will help you.

You should check in System Profiler > Graphics/Display if there is a kext loaded for you GPU.
You can also check in System Profiler > Software > Extensions for loaded GeForce.kext and NV*.kext

If there is no Driver loaded for you GPU you need to get a working Driver first.

Thank you! I'll try your suggestions tonight. I'm gonna be busy for a couple hours.. I've tried enable QE in osx86 tools before.. It just did the same thing.. I'll still try it though.

Edit: I just get the same problems.. Windows have weird trailing artifacts... And Scrolling doesn't redraw.. Anything else? :(
