i try for graphics card (my max resolution is 1440x900x32) and with a lot of kext that i have tried the max resolution that i find is 1280x1024x32...
i tried every kext i have found in "www.kext.com" or insanelymac.com or here but nothing or black screen or kernel panic or 1024x768x32 resolution... my boot loader i PCEFI 10.6 (with PCefi 10.5 the same)

Field Note #1 @kj.web 2011-02-09

Do you have the old hard drive with a working system on it?
and do you have an system which can contain 3 HDD's? and with an working Mac OS X?
Then you can clone the working one to the other one, if you want to reinstall, remove some memory, because more then 4Gb Memory isn't recommended.
