He,
I just installed iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Universal FINAL. Thank you for the release.

I would like to have the rotate function of my display working. Normally the feature is shown in the display system preference. But not now.

Also when i use the screensaver "Flurry" is goes very shocky.

Looks like there is something with my Gfx settings?

Before iPC' s release i had zephyroth's OSx86 AMD 10.5.2 Revision 2.
The display rotation and screensaver worked fine.
When i updated zephyroth's to 10.5.3 (or 5.4 or 5.5) i couldn' t rotate anymore , and the screensaver was shocky.

I've tried to apply Gfxcard strings with OSX86Tools, but that didn't work.
My graphic card is a Nvidia 6600LE.

Any sugestions are welcome. Thank you.

He,
I have NVinject 0.2.1 256MB VRAM installed (For Nvidia 6600LE 256MB)

The option to change the transparency for the apple bar is also not available.

When i installed Zephyroth's OSx86 AMD 10.5.2 Revision 2, i had chosen from the option menu -NVidia 10.5.2 kexts and NVinject 0.2.0.

I've been playing a little bit with this and installed NVinject 0.1.1 VRAMtotalsize 256.
Now the screensaver is working perfectly and there are more screensaver to choose from(first there were only Computername and flurry, now arabesque, spectrum, shell etc, also the pictures (beach, cosmos etc) are working(first they didn't).

And rotation works. , the option to change the transparency for the apple bar is also available now. Thanks for the advice.

I have also installed Zephyroth NVidia Universal Installer(10.5.2 kexts.)

Field Note #1 @oneshot 2009-02-08

did you ever install anything for your graphix card? Like Nvinject?

I think that you screen saver might be shocky because your graphix card isn't compatible by default.

Is the option to change the transparency for the apple bar available?
