I am using nawcom 3.1 with retail SL 10.6.7 and I can't seem to get my 4830 to work. It starts off with a crappy resolution and 75hz frequency. The screen flashes blue for 3 seconds back to regular screen for 2 seconds then repeats over and over. I change frequency to 60hz nothing happens. I change resolution to full hd 1920x whatever and it just goes black and occasionally flashes the screen for half a second. I've tried some patch but it just screws things up to where I can't boot. I've also tried many kexts.

Help?
