here's a quick fix... but research it to get the full output from your video card.

Open Terminal and type

<b>sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist</b>

Use the arrow keys to move the cursor. Ctrl+O to save (and then press Enter to save) then rename the <b>*.save</b> file that was created to the original after you've deleted your <b>com.apple.Boot.plist</b> file.

To automatically use a certain graphics mode
<b><key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1280x1024x32@85</string>
Note:</b> If your video card is using VESA 2.0 drivers, leave out the '<b>@85</b>' part as it only works on VESA 3.0 will cause the system to reset before getting anywhere. This '<b>@85</b>' is the Hz refresh rate.

Remember, this is only a quick fix. find the correct kext for your card if you want the full output.
