As noted in this post, best results are with the elliot kext, and the corresponding Framebuffer as has been posted previously.

 

Then using the chameleon mod from Meklort, seems to enhance the graphics performance visually, less artifacts.

 

Cosmetic drawback is that customized chameleon screen on boot show half the graphic, but maybe that can be fixed by different resized files. I can live with that. Does not affect selecting drive icons.

 

Working fully with an Acer 1640z, 10.5.8
