The thing to watch out for with this is that all the other GeForce and NVDA* graphics kexts in the Extensions folder were removed. Then repair permissions and reboot and it should load just fine.

Now I'm using EFI and the retail graphics update through 10.5.5 and up and the NVDA kext "NVDANV40Hal.kext" and EFI string work together to give me CI/QE and full resolution support.

EDIT: you're hex string should be:
I obtained this with OSx86 Tools Utility. If you need help implementing this, let me know... but you said you already used it so you should be fine. Also, (if you haven't re-updated to 10.5.5 or above) when you boot up... boot up in single user mode (-s) and remove all your other video kext fixes using the commands:

Code:

/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
rm -Rf GeForce*
rm -Rf NVDA*
rm -Rf NVinject*
rm -Rf ATI*
cd ..
chmod -R 755 Extensions/ && chown -R root:wheel Extensions/
rm -Rf Extensions.mkext
reboot

Now upgrade your graphics... if you find that the graphics update was already installed and you just erased it, PM me and I'll send you the files.

EDIT: when you copy the hex code, don't worry about the apparent spaces that show in the quote... they don't show up using nano or TextEdit or BBEdit.
