Okay, so this is driving me nuts trying to figure it out. I tried deleting the sleep image, but couldn't find one.

I was using graphicsenabler=yes on my Nvidia GT 240. QE/CI worked great. I then put my computer to sleep, which I then couldn't wake up and subsequently had to hard reset my computer. Ever since the hard reset my graphics don't work. It looks like safe mode resolutions with no QE/CI. I'm using Chameleon 2 RC4 and am running Snow Leopard 10.6.2

I've tried running kext utility and I get the same result. I don't really want to have to reinstall again =/

for any help offered!

Try installing a EFI String..
