I have never gotten my graphics card 8500GT 256 to work properly.
On lawlessppc 10.5.4 AMD it makes my mouse laggy and noticeably more errors while surfing the web.
Recently, I have successfully installed iPC osx86 final without the nvinject 256 or any video drivers as it doesnt boot.
The installer i used on lawlessppc was from nvinstaller website 92f3 or something.
I tried that on iPC but failed to boot.
How do I get my card to work safely?

btw, when I first installed iPC, moving windows around were buggy and surfing the web and scrolling would scroll jsut the bottom or top so I had to remove Geforce.kext in my extensions folder.
