I had to modify my dsdt.aml with ACPI Patcher to get working GFX without EFI strings in ...Boot.plist... but some problems complicated my plan ;/

My graphic... GeForce 8800GT 512Mb so i selected from list in Graphic section my gfx GF8800GT... next i set value of memory and GFX DSDT CheckBox in the botoom PCI 0 without PEGP coz ioreg explorer dosnt show me that information.

I think all its ok but GFX dont work look at screen under and show me what i do wrong.

It's crazy, but I think we have nearly the exact same setup...

Yes, you can get GFX to work with EFI strings. see below. Works on SL

have you gotten audio to work? Voodoo shows that I've got something, but no audio

Field Note #2 @kramer2k 2009-08-17

Here's EFI string for GFX and LAN. Just copy and paste into the "device properties" (minus the quotes) in your .boot.plist

Hey Shadow...got it working...

For some reason, it works when PEGP is checked off...and audio now works too!

Here's my dsdt.aml
It's got...
LAN w/ TM vix - Location PEX3
Audio - ALC888 (address 2) with HDEF (NOW WORKS with VoodooHDA)
GFX - 8800GT 512 MB, address 0, +PEGP

Fully working 10.6 on USB drive...now the question of whether to port to main system or wait...
