wow really? never knew it could be this complicated....so would installing the voodoo kernel do anything. and what is the risk factor of this killing my system?

ooh, you haven't done this yet? the voodoo kernel isn't a complicated thing at all. non-intrusive (since it isn't replacing mach_kernel in root) install and you can revert back to mach_kernel whenever you want. Simply place the voodoo_beta2 kernel on your root drive (I renamed it to simply "voodoo") then when you boot up, press a key during the countdown and enter and it will boot up using that kernel. when you are comfortable using the voodoo kernel all the time simply edit your com.apple.Boot.plist file in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ to include the voodoo kernel in either the boot flag or in the kernel flag. I've had no problems either way. (just remember that if you hit a key during the countdown you will need to type voodoo in again if it was a boot flag.

i think the voodoo kernel worked, i put it in my root driver, booted with "voodoo -v" and everything is working, now its time to test if Photoshop is going to work, i will also try Toast, since this hasnt worked for me ever since i updated to 10.5.5

Even with the new kernel photoshop still crashes...and so does Toast..lol guess i will never have Photoshop CS4 or Toast Titanium :P

Mmm, i have problem with Photoshop CS4. When I change a picture, the system starts to look like on the screenshot:

Some strange things in the Console logs:
Only re-login helps. Any idea?

is CI/QE enabled/supported via Hardware?

Yes, of course

i dont know if its a problem with your graphics card, because when i downgraded to 10.5.2 again it worked fine for me. so try a 10.5.2 machine and see if you have the same problem
