Windows 8 on iMac5,2 Driver Problem

I have an old iMac5,2.

 

- I have installed Windows 8 on it successfully. I have most of the drivers installed.

- The only driver that I can not find officially is the graphics display driver.

- I found out a way to modify a different driver to work for my iMac, BUT this causes the driver to be considered an "unsigned driver" by Windows.

- There is a way to bypass this by restarting the PC in Recovery mode and booting into a version of safe mode that disables driver signature enforcement, BUT once I get to this screen, I cannot use my keyboard to type the option that will begin loading this safe mode.

- I have tried 4 different keyboards, old and new -- no dice.

 

Any suggestions?
