I was running Kalyway 10.5.2 and i find myself a bit stuck because this is THE ONLY Distro i can find that my graphics card fully works on. I've Tried Zephyroth And Leo4All as well. I also tried updating my Kalyway install using
ASU ( I've got an amd machine by the way) but after trying to update to even 10.5.3 my machine stopped booting. I really need some help here. Thanks:)

If you can't get the full support of the hardware with the software supplied with those disks, go grab your Kalyway disk after you've installed one of the newer ones and go to the /System/Installation/Packages/ folder on the DVD and find the X1600 package. run it then repair your permissions in the Extensions folder by opening up Terminal:

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/

and reboot with -f

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to find the x1600 package there.
