iATKOS_5i install successful

Well I finally got this distro to load. I could not burn the image because of my junky old burner, so I used an old trick from my Windows 98 days. I created a small partition on my new drive and used disk utilities to restore the image to that partition. I used 132 boot disk and booted from that image. Leo booted up and I installed using the modified 9.2 kernel. I transferred all my settings from my 10.4.11 installation and everything worked without any major issues.

It seems that everything is working correctly accept I lost QE/CI on my X1650 Pro. The same trick I used to enable it on 10.4.11 using the modified kexts did not work on this distro and is causing that annoying mouse tearing on the screen. I cannot change my resolution at all and I am stuck at 1024x768. I need a bit of help in this area since it took me almost a week of searching and reading to get QE/CI to work on Tiger. I was hoping that someone on this board has enabled this on a X1650 Pro successfully and could save me a bit of headache by giving me a few hints as to how to get it to work on this distro.

As usual my system specs are located in my sig.

Thanks guys.
