what monitor did u hv cuz i installed ipc 10.5.2 and upgraded to 10.5.8 and both the resolution was bad and things were distorted and blurry. is it my graphics card or monitor or do i have to enable or disable quartz extreme?

I don't think the monitor is the problem. If you use a nvidia graphics card, remove any graphics related kexts and try using efi strings. Have no idea on how to do it with ATI though. =\

im tryin to run iatkos v7, it installed great but on the first boot up it boots into a light blue screen and stays their whats is the fix for this?

@rcoffie search for a way to remove the video "drivers" you selected during install.

Or:

Blue screen on bootup - This means that OS X doesn't see your monitor properly or your graphics card isn't working correctly. Reinstall again, but this time make sure you don't select any enablers/efi strings and you might also select the package to remove NVDAResman.kext, these would fix it, then you can login to gui and search drivers for your vga.

Congrats then. :D

Awesome advice, nforcelan worked right off the bat. I did the string trick after upgrading to 10.5.7 but I had to trick it into using the drivers for the 8800 gt 1gb instead of the 9800 gt 1gb. Thanks a lot, everythings running perfectly now.

[razzeheb]

install nforcelan.kext for network and you can use osx86tools to get the video working.

Finally got it installed lol, I used a portable installation. Still cant figure out how to install those damn Ethernet and Video drivers. Any ideas?

You can't update straight to 10.5.8. I went step by step, to get 10.5.3 u can download the "10.5.3 Kalyway Combo Update" and to get from 10.5.3 to 10.5.4 download "Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update"from Apple website. After this point you may follow the guides from ihackintosh(dot)com . And for the graphics card I used EFI strings (OSX86Tools can do that for you).
