[cite] shitan:[/cite]Tried the graphics update - first destroyed my system. Then patched, didn't improve. Then applied rumar's method (removing the GE and NV kext)
and it booted. Then I installed zeph's nvinject installer (which had previously worked on my system), and while it doesn't destroy it (it still boots fine), it doesn't work either. System complains that 'nvinject was installed improperly".
What should i do? :(

You need to repair permissions on nvinject.

Installed Nvidia kext + NvInject 256 (=memory of my card). Repaired permissions, to no avail: boot, but stuck in low res + bitchy "nvinject.kext was not installed properly", no matter how many times i repair permissions.

mmm...
what should i do?

Did you open Terminal and Chown & Chmod everything as i guided before ?

Rumar4u: Thank you, you're a genius.

I somehow was convinced the chmod chown was just some type of permission repair - but i was obviously wrong. what does it do, or why doesn't "permission repair" from disk utility take care of it?

Thanks again, man.

Ok, I had nvinject already installed, so I installed the graphics update and ran the patcher upon reboot, and I get that black screen telling me to reboot.... I am confused

try what rumar suggested : boot in single user, remove all traces of nvinject,
boot in safe mode, reinstall nvinject,
chown/chmod everything
repair permissions, reboot.

[cite] rumar4u:[/cite]You have to delete all Graphics Kexts first:
boot with -s
mount -uw /
rm -rf /system/library/extensions/NV* (enter)
rm -rf /system/library/extensions/Ge* (enter)
reboot (enter)
Your Graphics will appear in 1024 x 768 but , there you install the Zephs graphics installer with NVinject 0.2.1 (latest is very important)
then open terminal, your name & password and Sudo & Chown everything in extensions folder
cd /system/library/extensions/ && chown -R root:wheel * && chmod -R 755 * (enter)
diskutil repairpermissions / (enter)
reboot (enter)

Im not a "know it all" but this is pure basics... hope it helps
ps.. If you want to "mount -uw" again and run the ./patcher cpuid-graphics.txt for your convenience do it again

I did this and I still get that black screen reboot error....
