Not sure If I'm going forward or backward
I have removed all NVidia and deleted the com.apple.kext.caches from /S/L/C
Now when I boot using the ATI 4350 card
It boots and then both monitors power down (Orange light) and black display IMPLIES NO INPUT signal
I can ssh into the machine so it booted and is running but nothing shows on either display (DVI or VGA)

DSMOS has arrived
That is the last thing seen before the screens blank out
scroll by again screens go blank (NO INPUT signal)
ATI4600Controller.kext does exist in /S/L/E
ATI4600Controller 1.6.24.17 (8901)
When booting with -x -f I see
the Apple Logo Spinning wheel and a progress bar (gray rounded edges) Slowly moves to about 30% then progress bar disappears and the wheel keeps spinning for 20 secs and then again Blank displays (or No Input Displays)
Seeing I have ssh access is there any command line stuff I can do like Kext Utility loads, or EFI Studio ???
Any ideas ??

Thanks in advance
I experience this too when I reinstall my hackintosh
first i'm in 10.6, I need to boot with "-x -f arch=i386" to get rid of blank screen
then I do 10.6.5 update, reinject the device id to Info.plist and it works fine now without any bootflags
