Hi all,

After reading many posts, i finally came to a solution for this video card !

1/ You have to assume that your Vendor & Device IDs are : 0322(Device) 10de(Vendor)

2/ Go in /System/Library/Extensions and delete : "NVDA*.kext/plugin/bundle files" + "GeForce.kext"
-> and every AGPgard.kext ; titan.kext ; natit.kext ; nvinject.kext ; nvkush.kext ; ect ...

3/ Copy the ones in the archive attached in this post with KextHelper (just to make things easier ...)

4/ Restart your mHACKintosh ...

========== Your system should boot fine and you should get QE/CI enabled right now ==========

But ... as GeForce FX5200 support stopped on 10.5.5 release, you should get some strange behavior with graphics.
In order to fix this, we're going to swap the CoreGraphics.framework to the old one which was supporting the GeForce FX5200 (version 10.5.5)

5/ On boot, press F8 and add "-s -v" arguments to boot into single user command line mode (-s) and verbose mode (-v)

6/ Delete the 10.5.6 version of CoreGraphics.framework like this :
"rm -R /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework"

7/ Copy the one from the archive with "cp -R <folder of the file without the last /> /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/

8/ Fix the permissions on it :
"chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework"
"chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework"

9/ Then "reboot"

10/ You should now have a working 10.5.6 system with GeForce FX5200 without any strange behavior nor artifacts !

Enjoy !

Anyone able to confirm if this still works in 10.5.8?
