@pcwiz:

If it's based on the retail DVD this will be OK. I just installed iDeneb, and yecch, it has a changed backgroundpic, another readme file and the 'About this Mac' logo is replaced by a custom one. I hate this. Because they used another background pic, the original black/purple 'Aurora' background pic is not available on this installation anymore.

Another problem of iDeneb is that it doesn't marks the installation partition active. I was installing on my 2nd boot partition (which is the second on the HD) and it was not booting from there, so I got a message 'apple.com.boot.plist not found' because it wasn't able to boot frrom the first partition because it was empty.

Sorry pcwiz, that's not true. I have an X1600Pro AGP from GeCube on my SSE2 system (not in use anyome) and we have about 10 identical X1600Pro PCI-E from Gigabyte, and both have the ID 0x71c2. In former times (Tiger) I had an X1600XT PCI-E, this one had the ID 0x71c0. It was curious: I had QE/CI from the beginning, but it was not possible to change the monitor resoulution, no patch was helping. After this I got my X1600Pro AGP for my 2nd SSE2 system and this one worked, this is why I reverted to the Pro version on PCI-E too. The X1600Pro is shown as X1650 when using ATIinject. And only with PCI-E 8x speed, saw it the first time...

Info: The 10.5.5 drivers are NOT working with ATIinject, another problem on iDeneb. The last drivers which were working with ATIinject were from 10.5.2.

What about Quicktime 7.5.4 for compatibility reasons? Maybe the old 10.5.2 gfx drive and/or the the courious fact that's only running in 8x speed are the problem for the low speed of QT 7.5.5, but I'm not sure. While testing I have better Xbench gfx results as some nVidia 7xxx or 8xxx cards. Could you give me the drivers you want to use for testing?
