[cite] dimiosmule:[/cite]It may seem dummy, but how do i find my device's string?

Additionally, only two Info.plist contain the id you mention;
nvdanv40hal.kext
string>0x004010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x00f010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x022010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x014010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x016010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x009010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x01d010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x039010de&amp;0xfff0ffff 0x029010de&amp;0xfff0ffff</string>

I suppose i have to leave only one string, am i right?

Thank you lanxxx for the info!!
nvdaresman.kext
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

sorry the other kexts have
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
<string>0x029210de</string>
rather than primary match you need to change them all.

If you have windows then you can find device ids in device manager, if not use a linux live cd open a terminal type lspci

then change the device id to the above format, also on the wiki for this site there is a lot of device ids listed.

This post may be in wrong place, as i changed from Zephyroth release to Leo4all, but i think that it may help others facing same problems.
The reason that i changed release was the many many system crashes i have had, but i have to admit that probably my LAN drivers caused the problem. Now, with the Leo4all and with a LAN card with Realtek 8139a, everything seems ok; i believe though that if i reinstalled the Zephyroth's release with that LAN card the result would be the same (no crashes).
The audio problem i mentioned on previous post is now solved (AppleAzalia with 2ch support seem to solve the problem)

Regarding the Graphics Card, i still have problems; after the clean install of Leopard (10.5.2) the only screen resolution available was 1024x768, indicating no proper hardware support. Then, i used the "Nvidia Installer V1.9 by Punk92" and after a restart the native resolution for my TFT is now supported;
the hardware info for the mac:
Graphics by NVIDIA:
Chipset Model: Graphics by NVIDIA
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 512 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0392
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: NVinject 0.2.1
Displays:
SDM-HS95P:
Resolution: 1280 x 1024
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Software
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
Display Connector:
Status: No display connected

As "Quartz Extreme: Not Supported' appears and as Lanxxx advised on previous post, i altered the
nvinject
geforce.kext
Nvdanv50hal.kext
nvdanv40hal.kext and
nvdaresman.kext

by declaring my devices' string id (0x039210de). After a restart, a blank screen appeared and i was able to login in only with the -x option at boot....
I have reinstalled the "Nvidia Installer V1.9 by Punk92", now i can login with normal boot...
However, i believe that the video acceleration is not working (Quartz Extreme:Not Supported, xvid videos playback is problematic).

Thank you all very much for the support so far!

Exactly what graphics card do you have?
