ok, how do i obtain then from the dvd

Geforce.kext is generic between all of the Nvidia cards, the only one that varies is the NVDANVHalxx. That one changes dependant on what series card you are using. Series 7 = 40, 6 = 30 etc.

What graphics card do you have?

You will need to browse on the DVD to /system/Installation/Packages/Nvidia run the Nvidia-Kexts.pkg

To Avoid a kernel panic, make sure your device ID is in the new kexts after they install.

so in order to get it, i need to get those geforce kexts from the dvd,
i was only able to boot leopard by not installing them from the dvd in the initial install, when i installed them initially from the dvd i got a black screen with a cursor and thats it,
so if i can get them from the dvd and install them now, after osx is running stable, it should work,
and if so how do i do this, thanks
