Netkas has released version 10.3 of PCEFi.
PCEFi 10.3 can send graphic injection to pciroot = 1, so with Chameleon 2 the GraphicsEnabler option in com.apple.Boot.plist doesn't work in my mother-board but with PCEFi 10.3 it does.

In 10.5.8 I've installed Chameleon rc2 r431 and PCEFi 10.3 boot file and put this lines in com.apple.Boot.plist (in /Extra):

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>y</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>

I've put this smbios.plist file in /Extra:

I've deleted any video injector or GFX EFi string in com.apple.Boot.plist.
After reboot my graphics card is well detected, with QE / CI.
