I'm a complete noob when it comes to dsdt. I did create a dsdt.aml file using dsdt editor, but upon reboot, my mouse no longer worked! I know I should extract dsdt info and patch it or edit it and then create the .aml file, but I'm not sure what to edit and I can't find patches for this mobo: Dell 0DD431. Any thoughts?

I'll try PCIRootUID=4, have tried 1 and 0 and didn't make any difference. I appreciate the input from you. This is just my grandpa's old computer and I'm just horsing around with it... seeing what I can do with it. It's not my primary computer. I've tried various efi strings, various nvenabler, natit, nvinject, etc. I'm surprised that it seems no matter what I do, it makes no difference. I either get no screen, kp or 1280x1024 without QE/CI. Never get multiple resolution options in system preferences and never get QE/CI. I'll keep horsing around and if I get QE/CI, I'll post my success story here. If anyone has other ideas, I'd like to hear them.

I am having troubles with this card. It's an EVGA Geforce 210 1gb ddr3 PCIe card. I've successfully installed Snow Leopard (using legacy_kernel), but I can't get QE/CI working. I'm running a Dell XPS 200 which is Intel 945G Express chipset; using a dual core Pentium D 830 processor with 4gb DDR2 RAM. My monitor is VGA, so I have the monitor connected to the DVI port on the Geforce 210 via a DVI-VGA adapter. I've tried GraphicsEnabler yes and no, npci=0x2000 and npci=0x3000, PCIRootUID=0 and 1 and I've also created an EFI string. I've installed nvenabler.kext, I've installed GeForce and other nvidia kexts, but always the same outcome. I'm getting the desired 1280x1024 resolution, but just can't get graphics acceleration. For right now, I'm using no kext files and the EFI string and using chameleon v2.1svn r2069. Any help would be appreciated!
