First, Hi and sorry for my basic english.
After a few installations of snow leopard by Hazard 10.6.2, everythings seems to be OK but my graphic card (Geforce 7300 go, equal as Quadro NVS 110M).
If I boot without graphic injector, graphicEnabler or EFi strings my system is OK but resolution is blocked @ 1024x768.
When I apply one of this three things to make my 7300go to work there is the same problem at reboot :
resolution 1400*900 OK but the cursor is jumpy and very, very, very fast so I can't control it. And the system lag when launchnig applications or anything else.
What I've noticed : when I launch an application the system is very very slow but my cursor run very well ! and return to bad behavior when the application is launched.
What I've tried with no solution:
-different kernel : 10.0 10.2 10.3
-set my trackpad preference to the slowest movement
-applePS2trackpad or VoodooPS2trackpad
-Injectors, efi strings, graphicenabler (it recognize my card with -pci1)
I've read on a forum that it looks like an IRQ problem because it goes well when the system is trying to do something, but my knowledge is too bad about that.
Won't you please, please, help me. Help meeee oooooo :

@fsqcdsI have the same problem. My video is geforce 8400 gs, processor is amd. Booting to windows and after that rebooting to mac os x helps.
For me no changes.
But here's what turn in the console when I'm with a good resolution but with slow system and crazy cursor :

Absolutely ! I did it and the only thing i've got is a white screen.

I have the same problem. My video is geforce 8400 gs, processor is amd. Booting to windows and after that rebooting to mac os x helps.
Did you try deleting AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext as described here:http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14… ↗?
Rebooting from Linux, even without X, also solves the problem, so possible solution is manupulating with linux, scripts and grub.cfg.
I add DeviceID to NVDAResman.kext and NVDANV50Hal.kext (again, probably I forget do that after last upgrade) and that solves the problem! Here is guide ↗.
Oh no, that just disable QE/CI. Problem is not solved.
if you have two dvi ports, use the other port, try switching them around with multiple boots (i had to swap a few times for it to work right)
if you have dvi and vga, switch to the other one.
i used to have a 9500gt with a DVIx1VGAx1 and it never worked, i had to replace it (even tho others with 9500gt DVIx2 VGAx0 got it working), hopefully you don't have that issue
I try to switch to vga. On 10.6.0 it works, but on 10.6.3 i got blue screen.
delete InternalModemSupport.kext inside " IOSerialFamily.kext " and use proper kext for your series...
Problem solved.
This what i did for my card XFX Nvidia 7300 GS..
Remove all Geforce Kext and InternalModemSupport.kext & Fix EFI string
Not work for me, sadly. What means "use proper kext for your series"? Why you delete geforce kext? Is qe/cl work after that? What you fix in efi string?
