@diskeeperGo to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ copy the com.apple.Boot.plist to Your desktop. Open with text edit.

hi men i installed using kext helper…but after restart it again same procedure...(freezes) not able to get in desktop (ideneb)…anyway thank u for ur help…i dont have luck to work wit ideneb on my pc…its ok…

@milancaATY_init by netkas, thats one of the latest gfx injectors for both ati and nvidia seems to work great.. i tested it once and it worked on 8500GT and 8600GT where for example nvinject failed. You seemed to do install kext properly (if all other injectors had been removed) but you forgot to rebuild extensions' cache with kextcache…

hi...i think i have done a mistakes so far…i use this command to remove NV* , Ge* at the root device by -s mode
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/extensions/
rm -R NV*
rm -R Ge*
reboot

then all geforce kext & NV kext deleted at /Systems/Library/Extensions/

when ever i install NVinject or NKkush or NVDarwin or NVinstallerv41 or v51 or 9f23 nothing can be found there…so what should now to follow cleanly…thank u for ur reply…

hi milanca...i followed ur steps now...i deleted nvinject & then i installed ATY_Init.kext by this method 
sudo -s
password:
cd ..
cd ..
cd ..
cd System/
cd Library/
cd Extensions
chmod -R 755 ATY_Init.kext
chown -R root:wheel ATY_Init.kext
cd ..
rm Extension.mkext
kextcache -k Extensions
reboot

then i also check whether it shows all resolutions but no other resolution came except 1024x768
then i next removed two lines under com.apple.boot.plist
<key>device.properties</key>
<string>many numbers here :)</string>

then i gave these permissions 
sudo -s
password:
cd ..
cd ..
cd ..
cd System/
cd Library/
cd Extensions
chmod -R 755 ATY_Init.kext
chown -R root:wheel ATY_Init.kext
cd ..
rm Extension.mkext
kextcache -k Extensions
reboot

then my display shows like this

Delete the Video card EFI string from com.apple.Boot.plist.

Go to Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
copy the com.apple.Boot.plist to Your desktop. Open with text edit.
Remove these 2 lines:

<key>device-properties</key>
	<string>many numbers here :)</string>

Save the file, then copy back to original folder.
If You use Chameleon 2, this file is located in the Leopard partition/Extra folder. Copy here too & reboot.

Please add more information for me. Machine specs, distro, version number.

I had a similar problem with this video card when I flashed it's bios with a similar one (another maker). No injector or efi string could let me change the resolution and I had some artifacts also browsing the web. Finally I flashed back the original bios and it's all right now.
What I mean is that maybe some bios (8400gs line) are the trouble, not the injector.
Anyway it's a bit risky but not impossible but you'll need to get an updated bios file for that.

I meant the video bios. You can find many bios here:
mvk tech.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,26/func,select/id,58/
Once you get the one you need follow this guide:
techp owerup.com/articles//overclocking/vidcard/34/1
There you can download the tools and choose the booting method (it should be done in dos)
I'll be here if you need some help choosing the right bios file.

Anyway, this is the last method you should try, so keep the faith and try everything.

You seemed to do install kext properly (if all other injectors had been removed) but you forgot to rebuild extensions' cache with kextcache command, or boot -f to force rebuilding it.
