Well I have seen this thread which describes my problem as well. I have the saphire Ati x1650Pro AGP. I don't face any problem with the appearence but I can't change the resolution and I can't use the external monitor.

How can I find a working kext for this vga or how can I modify the existing kext in order to have full support of my vga?

Ain't that the truth. Had a Radeon x1600 Pro (0x71C2). Spent a large amount of time trying to get it to work. QE/CI with no Res Change / Mouse Tearing. Res Change with no QE/CI. QE/CI with Res Change but menus solid black. I folded and baught an 8600GTS on the cheap and it worked right away with no work on my part except picking the option in the install. Yep...it's the truth.

well lexattack you are great. it is exactly what I was looking for and worked like a charm. Now I have full support of my card.

off topic: Do you know anything about the "Chain Booting Error" that I get????
