Hi,

I have a simliar build, ga-p35-ds3l, with HD4850. The main issue i had was that I was running a DVI or HDMI, it kept booting to blank screen. I changed to VGA cable and it worked fine.

What is the error or issues you are getting?

If you want, dump IODeviceTree into a text file using,

ioreg -l -w0 -p IODeviceTree > ~/Desktop/dump.txt

attach that file here & I will try to give you some ways for Inject that might result in working DVI out.
