Systemupdate on AMD isn't that difficult, if you're running Voodoo or Voodoo based Kernel. - Most important is to create a Back-up of the Kernel Binary, so that you can boot into your system, once your done.
You also need to ensure, that you have either dsmos.kext or AppleDecrypt.kext and Disabler.kext been installed on your System. (Systemprofiler / Extensions)
Then do the following on Terminal:
Quote:
sudo -s
cp -R /System/Library/Extensions /Extensions_backup
cp /mach_kernel /back_up_kernel
Run the 10.5.8 Update and use "/back_up_kernel -v" as Parameter on next Bootup.
You will propably run into a number of issues.
I recommend to copy back your old Kernel & reinstall the system.kext & seatbelt.kext Extensions from your /Extensions_backup folder using KextHelper.
If you still have trouble - report back. Good Luck.

Reffering to your Graphic I would try to use nvkush.kext - but I guess just installing it, won't get you fully graphic accerlation.
You can get nvkush from here: http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/NVkush/N...taller.pkg.tgz
After installing & rebooting you should be able to change your resolution, etc.
But I recommend to check, in the Systemprofiler, if you have Quartz Extreme enabled - if not, you will need to add your Device ID to the Info.plist of the following Extensions: GeForce.kext,NVDANV40Hal.kext, NVDANV50Hal.kext, NVDAResman.kext & NVkush.kext - Tell me, if you need further instructions.
