Snow Leopard is working like a DREAM! Everything is very functional except the graphics card is unrecognized. When I add a device-properties string to com.apple.Boot.plist it boots with the graphics card detected, fixes my resolution and even recognizes my dual monitors. However it always crashes 5-10 seconds after running. If I remove the string the stability is restored but I still have a graphics problem.

The graphics card is Geforce 7950 GT. I had it working for years in Leopard with NATIT 0.2 DUAL kext. I tried the same kext in Snow Leopard but it didn't work.

Ideas / help / thoughts appreciated... thanks!
