got Leo to load on my old N610c using the IPC distro. Everything works, but alas the QE/CI does not work on the 7500. I have read posts till my eyes bled to see if anyone got it to work, but to no avail. I need to at least get the full range of resolutions to work and if someone has gotten QE/CI to work on 10.5.6 then so much the better.

Here are the specs for the 7500:

ATI Radeon Mobility 7500
AGP
32MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID (0x4057)
Revision ID (0x0000)

If anyone can give me a hand to at least get full resolution and possibly QE to work I would be greatly appreciative. I need to get away from software driven core, it uses too much cpu resources.

Thanks so much for the help!:)

Author Update #1 @fairlyodd 2010-05-20

I am not sure if it is required to have more than 32 MB of ram to enable QE, from what I read I can not get CI or rotation because of the limited memory available with this card. Does non of you gurus out there have any idea how to implement this card in QE or know how to at least get higher resolution?
