I also have a similar issue after installing Zephy's 10.5.2 on the following system:
-MSI RX2600XT T2D512EZ/D3 (DDR3 512MB) - Radeon HD 2600 XT
-Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe
-AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
installed LeoGraphicsUpdate 1.0 and only added the newest Natit.kext (netkas.org) and the newest ToH 9.2.0 kernel with fixed shutdown (NO SPEEDSTEP)
After booting (normal or -x (Safe Boot)) i see a blue screen with mouse pointer. When i press the power-off/on button I can see my desktop for 1 second and it switches to suspend. And after pressing power the second time it comes back to normal mode and everything (QE/CI/resolution / Card Information) is fine.
Can somebody help please?
Have you injected the appropriate drivers? NVIDIA 10.5.2 NVinjects & 512MB version before you installed? Have any of you customized the installation? The LeoGraphicsUpdate I believe, were pre-patched in the current release by Zephyroth.
Yeah I selected the Nvidia option during the installation with nvinject and selected the 512 option.
Have found this on Netkas Natit Thread:

This blue screen with mouse issue pointer after booting could be because of the LeoGraphicsUpdate Package. Also some/all MacPro Users with an ATI HD have this problem:

I think we have to wait for an bugfix of this update. Or has somebody a workaround?
tut, did solve it?

Mac Users have solved it with resetting the PRAM:

But what should we do instead of resetting the PRAM?
I'm getting this issue as well (leo graphics update+ natit installed).
I have no issues when booting. Its after when the computer is on and I turn off the monitor. When I turn it back on, that's when I get the blue screen with no mouse pointer either. But I think I solved it by using the other DVI input on the video card. Now it works fine.
thanks, CyCLoBoT, but plugging the DVI input of the monitor into the 2nd DVI output, doesn't solve my problem. *#+,"§$&/...
Hurua, I'm having the same issue. No matter what kext I use, if it has working qe/ci I get the blue screen =( Someone on IRC told me that I need to use an older AppleSMBIOS.kext, I tried and its not working. I like using mac.nubs applesmbios though , =S
this problem can't be that big ... I'm sure it's only something small to change in some plist ... or something similiar ...
I've asked the macdotnub guy about this ... I'll post it here if I'll find a solution
