I installed Zephyroth's 10.5.2 (the first one) on my system:
Processor: Athlon 64 3000+
Motherboard: MSI K8NGN2 , nForce 430 chipset
Graphics: nVidia GeForce 6150 (Onboard)
Monitor: Asus 19" Widescreen, connected to the DVI port (1440x900)
The NVinject drivers on the DVD seem to have no effect.
I tried these drivers: scott dangel.com/blog/?p=21
and only got some Kernel panics.
I modified the info.plst files in the kexts and changed the device IDs in "<key>IOPCIMatch</key>" etc., but to no effect. The max resolution Display Preferences is offering is 1024x768. It looks revolting.
Help!

Isn't there any other build of Leopard (or Tiger or Darwin) that supports it? At all?

Your graphics is not supported, i´m sorry. You can buy another graphics card. (7300-7600-8600...)
No CI/QE (hardware acelerated graphics) for onboard 6100-6150, you need a PCI-E card.
