NVdarwin alternative?

Hi,

I've been trying to use NVdarwin with my Nvidia GeForce 5200 FX (little old, but it works :P)
but upon boot w/ -v I just am halted by something like:

Code:

NVCARD=NVIDIA GEFORCE 5200 FX

then a few spotlight notifications, then nothing.

So.. my instincts told me to do what I always do, mess around with it. (At that point in time I didn't know NVdarwin was to blame for the unknown halting.)

I guessed it was something to do with the graphics, as I have experienced on my HacBook
Air.

I booted in -s and typed...

Code:

rm -Rf /System/Library/Extensions/NVdarwin*

typed exit and waddya know! It booted into the setup assistant w/ 800x600 no QE/CI graphics.

Is there an an alternative to NVdarwin?

I think NVKush and NVinject are just framebuffers, with means full res. but no QE/CI.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you!
