nVidia GT 420M Driver 10.6.3

[reubenpeck1]

I just bought an Acer Aspire AS5745G-7671 and I'll cut to the short and the sweet. I'm running a Core i3 370M CPU, an nVidia GT 420M video card, 4GB of Ram and a 500GB Hard Drive. I used the Nawcom MODcd 3.0 with the Legacy Kernel to install, and I'm currently booting from the hard drive with legacy_kernel, and busratio=18 (Kudos to RockingTurtle over at Projectosx for the guide). The laptop boots fully in 10.6.3. While the WiFi, Audio, and Webcam don't work yet, that's not my problem. I'm wanting to get the GT 420M graphics working on the laptop, but it's being a "Burr in my saddle". I downloaded and attempted to enable the graphics by using the GT 420M tutorial by larryonline (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=238819) and I extracted and installed all kexts from the Nividia drivers geforce 4xx+580 that were tweaked by Tony, and modified the Geforce.kext and NVDAGF100Hal.kext for my model. So the right kexts are installed, and they are properly modified. In the /Extras folder, my boot.plist shows as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>VBios</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>GraphicsMode</key>

<string>1270x800x32</string>

<key>busratio</string>

<string>18</key>

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>legacy_kernel</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>arch=i386</string>

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>3</string>

</dict>

</plist>

So I have the Graphics enabled to yes, but here is where I come into a problem. Ths OS isn't booting using that plist. It is booting from a standard plist that doesn't have anything except for Mach_kernel for settings. At first I thought it was in the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ but it wasn't that.

 

So if I get it to boot with that plist, should I be set to go graphics wise, or am I missing a step? It seems that it would work, but I can't be sure. If anyone could help me to get a fully working laptop, I'll send some money your way for your time. Thanks!
