I have Daytona 9500GT but probably is the same family.

 

These cards are supported only by 10.5.5 + macbookpro update

You can upgarde to 10.5.5 or install indeneb 10.5.5

If not booting, try -x parameter at boot options (safe mode)

From there, install aqua-mac's patch (containing makbookpro drivers)

Get nvdarwin.kext.zip from here and with property list editor set VRAM,totalsize to 20 (512 RAM)

Use pcwiz's tool or other method you like to install the kext

reboot and it should work

I have a palit 9400 GT video Card with 1 gbyte vram it work fine with 10.5.6 with QE sport ( i tested some games it work perfect) , i used OSX86Tools to make an efi string , i used 9800 gtx string ( which is found on the gfx list) , i just changed vram with EFIStudio ( gfx string could not be changed with OSX86Tools , so i copied text generated by OSX86Tools and pasted it in efistudio and there i changed the vram )

also it worked fine (with QE support ) using NVdarwin 1.2.5 (here it is http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=125106) ,i had to add my card Device ID TO NVDAResman.kext and NVDANV50HAl.kext ( may be one could be enough)

MacNutty thanks , i checked it before but i could not download it , it is always give this message "We are sorry, but all downloading slots for your country are busy" , so it will be good if you upload it to more than one site ( may be mediafire ,rappidshare)

 

thanks
