Hey All

I have done it GFX are now fully working through through DSDT it seems the main issue was EFI strings. Let me explain I run a lot of different partitions for different reasons I have 3 snow leopard partitions 1 leopard partition there is also Linux and Windows 7 in the mix as well (see attached pic). I know its not the best but is just how things have gone as times gone by. Now I was trying to install the DSDT GFX to my SNOWGUID partition. First of all I did not remove the EFI strings from this partition's extra com.apple.Boot.plist but did remove the graphics enabler string. No joy the card would be in system profiler but i just had no QE/OpenGL working as such. So i spent some time working with DSDTSE.app as my DSDT is a bit strange any way. I try'd to many different with not much luck of inserting the graphics code with this great app (a big thank you to EvOSX86 for the app). Then I all most gave up and went back to EFI strings I say all most. My next step was thinking I have to be vanilla as possible so I disconected all of my drives apart from one and reinstalled Snow Leopard on a GUID partition and then I try'd a fresh DSDT.aml with USB SATA and GFX fix it worked how happy was I. Then I reconected my other two drives and it stopped working. So from there I applied the same fixes to my other Snow partitions, but it didn't work on my main MBR Snow partition why? It seems at some time I had written my GFX string to my Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Bootplist once deleted I had working QE/OpenGL on all my partitions. I have feel have learned a lot from from doing this and just wanted to share my experience with others may be it could be of some use. For me I have learned EFI and DSDT do not mix but maybe thats just me. Am going to finish with a question though, how does Chameleon reference Boot.plists files from other partitions it is not booting though. And before you think it yes Chameleon was separately installed on all partitions. Thank you to wwbosx and all who have posted in this thread on to my next project speedstepping and sleep thank you again to all OSX86 fans
