It's important to install the correct applesmbios too.
I reinstalled again all release, and, with same graphics kexts modified by me (mentioned in post above), qe and ci were not working.
So i banged my head to understand what i changed from previous installation... i changed only smbios, AppleSMBIOS-28 instead than AppleSMBIOS-27rev3-800.
Reinstall AppleSMBIOS-27rev3-800 and magically qe and ci were working again.
Which is the difference from an smbios and another and which is the best?

Not sure, but I use the ToH SMBIOS and I have QE/CI.

The Leopard kernel is 32bit. 64bit kernel we just have in snow leopard.

Voodoo's 9.5 kernel is both 32 and 64 bit, on 10.5.5 i was running perfectly 64bit. Only problem was PPC appz not running, 'cause Rosetta not working...

That you can run 64bit apps doesnt mean the kernel itself is 64bit, and voodoo kernel is thin, just containing i386 architecture.

I've never had working TV Out under OS X. Even with NVCAP.

hello there and thanx for your guide..
heres what i did:

1)In terminal i typed:
rm -rf /system/library/extensions/NV*
rm -rf /system/library/extensions/Ge*
rm -rf /system/library/extensions/Natit*
so as to remove all Intel and ATI video drivers as you said.

2)I installed downloaded kexts using Uinstaller

3)In terminal i typed:
cd /System/Library
rm -Rf Extensions.mkext
so as to delete Extensions.mkext as you said.

i rebooted with -f
and it stucks at the grey screen with the apple logo.
It is loading for some time and then everything freezes.
Same happens when i try to boot in safe mode.

What should i do? any suggestions????

You deleted nvidia kexts that you shouldn't have deleted. I only said to remove Intel and ATI kexts. You use UInstaller to replace the older nvidia kexts, because I did not include all the ones you needed.
