I got my old Acer 5100 out of the closed, the hard drive was bad, so I installed a 32SSD I had laying around. I got everything to work!. It was little hard with the video, but I found callisto03, for some reason callisto8 would not work properly, I would get black screen even after I modded some of the kexts.

Hence there is my problem, the video is sluggish. Quicktine video overlay does not work,
nothing happens except audio. Safari HD video video works, youtube video ..all works ok. in minimized mode, not full screen though , it's very slow.

The video on this machine is Raedon Xpress 200M Id 0X5975.
Its the shared memory type of video, and 128m is the maximum assign in the bios. QuartzGL is enabled. Eveything works fine..all but the slow refresh screen.

Can anyone help spruce this baby up a bit? Vista and XP works really well on this machine. It has 2GIGS DDR2 667 and a dual core 1.8g AMD TURION
