You can use Uinstaller from Pcwizcomputer.com that will create the strings you need and put them in the com.apple.Boot.plist file for you.

EDIT: My bad, just checked and it doesn't have your graphics string. Ithink you can copy the graphics string using a text editor or plisteditpro.

FYI, the file to be edited is located at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist in both Leopard and Snow Leopar

I would also remove nvinject.kext from your extensions folder, then run "Kext Utility" to fix fix the permissions and create the extensions.mkext file

Edit 2: Adding the gfx string from leo probably doesn't apply in your case. Sorry for thinking I knew what I was talking about.
