Any way to make Radeon 4850 work under 10.5.5?

Hi, I installed iAtkos without any VGA drivers and then booted up with the -f (I had tried several installs with other choices that ended up in kernel panics), and installed the package "Enabler_for_Nvidia_and_multiple_ATI_cards.pkg", which makes the system recognize the card and show it in System Profiler, albeit with only 256 MB of RAM (it has 1 GB), but still no QE/CI and only 1024x768.

 

This page http://osx86.radeonhd.eu/ has an installer for Radeon 48x0 but it's for 10.5.6. Is there any way to make this card work in 10.5.5?

 

If not, what's the best way to bring iAtkos 5i to 10.5.6 or 10.5.7? I'd prefer to avoid another 4+ GB download. I suppose that if I use software update to download the 10.5.7 combo updater it will render the OS unusable, right? I selected PC EFI v9, SMBIOS EFI, Stock and x86 ACPIs, and OHR.
