Thanks. Here's what I did:

1. Installed PC_EFI v9 Chameleon on my 10.5.5 HDD using UInstaller 1.2
2. Patched DSDT using DSDT Patcher (Selected all options)
3. Installed 10.5.6 update from Apple site, patched with AMD Patcher .31
4. Rebooted to single user, and followed your instructions (removed all graphics kext etc)
5. Installed Apple's Graphics Update to replace removed kexts.
6. Used OSX86Tools to get hex code of my Graphics card (nVidia Geforce 7300GT 256mb)
7. Inserted the hex code manually in com.apple.Boot.plist string
8. Rebooted.
9. Worked fine, but then I get a kernel panic when I check on Graphics/Display on System Profiler:


From what I can understand, it has something to do with the com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily.

I hope that's detailed enough for you to help me out with this one.

Thanks again and hopeto hear a solution soon.
