I have successfully installed the retail Leopard 10.5.6 using the boot 132 method and updated to 10.5.8
Also I have chameleon RC2 on a separate partition that boots leopard without the disk.
My problem is:
1. No audio
2. No firewire
3. Graphics card (ATI x1900) - can only choose 1024 x 768 resolution.
Does anyone know of what kexts I need to solve these problems, please?

Thanks, voodoohda.kext worked! I had to put it in system\library\extensions as it doesn't work from efi or boot partition, right?
Also in system profiler it shows "no audio buit in", although I do get sound. Should it be like this?
I fixed the firewire by removing applehpet.kext!
Also I used "empty_skull_x19x0_series 10.5.6" collection of kexts and plugins by putting it in the extras folder of my boot partition. I did this before I saw your post, but I will look into natit for future reference.
Thanks again ^_^

Try to use VoodooHDA driver for enabling the sound for the x1900 try to install natit.kext ↗
There is a module for the Preferences Panel, that allows you to configure VoodooHDA - check the Voodooprojects ↗ for it and the latest version. - I haven't tried it to put it somewhere else then /S/L/E yet...
