Radeon x700 PRO PCIe on 10.5.2. help needed

first of all i'd like to say i dont contribute much to the forum because there are many minds out there far better than i am with this stuff. I lurk around here a fair bit, mainly while installing/troubleshooting the 4 or more PC's i've installed osx86 on, both Tiger and Leopard, so im not completely retarted. ive got Leopard 10.5.2 (dont remember what "flavor", it's been many many moons ago) on a Gigabyte GA-945GCMX-S2, 2.6 GHz processor running @ 3.01 GHz, and 1.5 GB Ram. everything works fine and it is heavily used without problems. Not to long ago I acquired a PCIe Radeon X700 Pro 256, so I thought I'd throw it in for gits and shiggles and see if I could find kexts to make it work. havent had much luck besides stuff for Tiger, which to my knowledge will do me absolutely no good. does anybody have any information on how to get it to work? the following is everything that comes up in System Profiler, with the device ID's, etc. any help is appreciated as i can really use the dual monitor function as well as being able to install my Adobe Suite. This thing is faster than my white MacBook, and will save wear and tear on it as well.
