i fixed one issue which is the resolution but still the video profiler is wrong and isn't givin me a good performance

what i did for any one who need it is open the file: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

Open the file, and add these two lines

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1280x800x32</string>

CODE

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://
www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

            <key>kernel</key>
            <string>mach_kernel</string>
            <key>Kernel Flags</key>
            <string></string>
            <key>Graphics Mode</key>
            <string>1280x800x32</string>
</dict>
</plist>

then save it and done

Mine is working fine without making any changes or adding anything. Basically stock drivers, and dsdt.aml. If you add or modify the original kext in Leopard/Snow Leopard you end up with more problems then you need.

(This is my 100th post since joining Insanelymac. So I hope this post is helpful to you.)
