I fixed CMOS reset with editing dsdt file, but I couldnt find any kext for my VGA

I saw that people where able to boot to SL with deleting all the ati kexts from S/L/E folder, so I did that and I got a step further - now I have a graphic screen saying that my keyboard is not being recognized.

I have a PS2 keyboard and a voodoops2controller kext in my E/E folder. Iguess it doesnt work, I'm gonna try a better one.

Thank for your help blacknight

I knew we'd get you going eventually. Now, for your VGA, I believe we can get you going with resolution changing and such, but you need to update put back the ATI kexts, except for ATIRadeonX2000.kext. You'll also need to add a key in your com.apple.Boot.plist for enabling the graphicsenabler. I'm assuming you're using PC_EFIv10.5 now, so you should be good. You'll need to look at netkas.org for his post on enabling ati bios injection using PC_EFI. I'll get you the link if you can't find it. As for the keyboard, I'd just get a cheap USB keyboard and mouse. I haven't used PS/2 in a very long time, so I didn't run into that problem.
