Hi RayFlower,

It's a page fault this happens when the OS fails to locate a memory section that has been stored to the hard disk.
Probably you just make a mistake when installing the kext files (file permissions, the cache not beeing rebuild or similiar)

Let us try step-by-step:

1. Install pfix http://osx86.sojugarden.com/2010/06/pfix-v3-1-released/ it will repair the file permissions and rebuild the cache for you.

2. Install just the ATY_init.kext - be sure to use this one http://mirror.netkas.org/5700/ATY_Init.kext.zip - the one from netkas original post has had no 5700 series support.
Just copy it into /System/Library/Extensions by Finder, open Terminal and run pfix on your OS X Partition.
(Be sure to have no other Graphics Inject on your system - remove GraphicsEnabler from com.apple.Boot.plist + any other kext based inject like Natit & others if present!)

Reboot and check for the card to be reported as ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series in System-Profiler

3. Download the new ATI kexts http://mirror.netkas.org/driver.tar.bz2, open ATI5000Controller.kext/Contents/Info.plist and add your Device ID into the IOPCIMatch Section. Device ID should be 0x68BE (check in System-Profiler), so you should make it look like this:

<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x68BE1002</string>


Move the current ATIFramebuffer.kext & ATISupport.kext from /System/Library/Extensions into the trash can.
Drop all the new version ATI kexts into /System/Library/Extensions folder, open Terminal and run pfix on your OS X Partition again.

If your screen will go to stand-by after reboot, try using a different output i.e. (secondary-)DVI.

Please report back - I'd like adding the 5750 to the supported cards list.
