I have a dell desktop model name e520 with the Intel GMA 965 or Intel x3100. I just installed leopard with almost everything working: resolution, audio, internet, etc. However, my graphics is not allowing me to enable quartz extreme.

I found this very strange because my video card is completely working with full resolution (1280x1024), multiple resolutions, and rotation.

I found many kexts and threads relating to x3100 graphic card in laptops and other desktops. However, I did not find any help relating to dell desktops. Many guides told me to inject an efi string for my card, but I could not find it in the dropdown menu of EFI Studio 1.0 and 1.1.

EDIT: My device ID for my Intel X3100 is 2A03 8086
