I have been struggling to get my nVidia GeForce 5200 working with iAtkos v7. I'm stuck in 1024x768 no QE. Everything else seems to be working fine.

my info...
system: optiplex gx520
os: iatkos v7 (10.5.7)
cpu: dual core pentium d
gfx: pci nvidia geforce 5200

When I installed iatkos, left everything default except:
unchecked DSDT
checked kernel 9.5.0 voodoo (9.7.0 wouldn't work), AppleSMBIOS-28, Intel SATA/IDE option.
left all graphics unchecked and am able to boot with 1024x768

Tried everything I could find: NVKush, CoreNvidia, Natit, Titan, EFI Strings (once manually, once with OSx86Tools) which all resulted in infinite reboot, hung boot.

Just tried Nvidia Universal Installer + 10.5.5 CoreGraphics.Framework as was suggested in another post on this forum (thanks for going back and posting your soln. TeckEnthusiast). This has been the most promising as I was still able to boot, but I still don't have full graphics support. After this fix I was hoping to upgrade to 10.5.8... So hopefully any fix will be compatible with 10.5.8 too. Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
