Problem installing nvidia 8800GT card with ASUS P5N-D

[ManhattanJeff]

I have a fully working installation of iDeneb v1.3 (10.5.5) dual booting with vista64, except that I can't get the OS to use the correct driver for my nvidia 8800GT graphics card.

 

I've tried every customization, including EFI strings, but either the system startup freezes or the display screen shows just one resolution (1024x768). When I use the OSx86 Tools program, it shows that the system recognizes the device as the 8800GT card, but is using the standard VGA driver.

 

How can I install the correct driver/kext/string without the startup freezing? What is the best graphics customization for this card in 10.5.5? Could there be something else (e.g., bios, hardware) that's interfering with installing the correct driver?
