I installed a Radeon Saphire HD 5450 1GB  in an old Dell E520 Core 2 Duo box running Mountain Lion 10.8.1. I used the instruction found here:- http://www.osx86.net...id=3043&page=2. The card is working find, DVD Player and Chess work, it shows in system profiler correctly, however when putting the display to sleep, using a hot corner, the cursor disappears, the picture freezes, but the display remains on. The display is connected via DVI. If I tried to sleep the whole computer then the drives spin down, the display powers off, but the display will not come back on again after sleep, although the drives do spin up.  AppleGraphicsPowerManagement is not loaded, I'm using a MacPro 3,1 SMBIOS.  Any Ideas?

SMCentral, thanks for the suggestion this didn't make any difference. I've tried a few different SMBIOS configurations  with no effect on the issues.

One additional piece of information, I've tried adding a second monitor using the VGA port and this does sleep when using the hot corner, so it seems to be specific  to the use of the DVI port. Any ideas?
