Can anyone offer there advice or experience?
I followed the Retail Snow Leopard DVD install for G31M-ES2L. First try with graphics enabler checked in the Myhack installer didn't work. Second time with it unchecked it worker fine. There was only on resolution available for the monitor. I ran the installer again with graphics enabler checked. Right before it looked like it would finish booting the screen goes black. Reinstalled without graphics enabler and back to one monitor resolution option. I tried EFI studio to generate a string for the card, Geforce 6600LE, but the screen went back to black as before. I tried nvidiainject.kext, same results.

for any advice

Ethernet does not work as was noted. This wireless adaptor worked great it was 12.99 when it was on sale

I bought a pci card from the same place, same manufacturer for $8, should come tomorrow. Looks like it should work
