I found out using those ATI kexts cause a kernal panic or make my screen turn white and scrambled (My card has a dvi out but I'm using a Mac DVI to VGA converter and a VGA cable.. I could buy a DVI cable if need be)

 

Also tried forcing the resolution with the com.apple.boot thing and that didn't work, nor did any terminal commands or SwitchRes X

 

(trying to get this to work on my low-profile gateway... I don't have many options for alternative graphics cards that use 250w or less and can fit in my computer.. the gateway power box is hard to find and is expensive for low profile PCs)

On the PLUS side for some reason the APPS in the new App store work great!
