Tried to install iPC 10.5.6 on the HW, everything went really fine, except (sigh):
1. blue screen after changing the resolution from 1024x768: boot go to Display settings: change the resolution > after a flash it stayed irreversibly on a blue screen.
2. PS/2 keyboard used the PS/2 patch, but need to unplug the kb after every reboot.
Tried all nvinject (default, 256, 512) drivers without success. No other options.
Any ideas how to get around the blue screen?
NB: This mobo cost half of the EP45.

Geforce 8400GS tips
Try to install the NVdarwin 256Mb kext for your videocard in a fresh install of iPC 10.5.6 final or iDeneb 1.4 ( you can easily find it on the web ): for my 9300 M GS it's THE ONLY kext driver which enables the Quartz Extreme & OpenGL ; i've tried ALL the others without any results !
Nice day
