I do but the other is a dvi.. The one I use is a vga. When I tried the adapter I got nothing. The monitor said no signal. Are both of yours dvi's? I will try again though, Thank you

Hmm.. I tried just the efi strings on a fresh install with no drivers. The video was just as slow as it was without drivers. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? I selected my video card and then wrote to the com.apple.boot.plist. everything showed up in the system profiler except there was no quarts extreme support and I had no option to change the resolution. It was stuck on 1024x768. By the way, thanks for your help. I'll keep trying

thanks man, that fixed it. did you happen to notice it slow down just a hair?
