Whats wrong:

When i boot up I get the error msg that you see below. I can't change Screen Resolution or Refresh Rate and I've got mouse tearing and some other graphic bugs. Also the card is shown as PCI but it is a AGPx8 card and it only shows 256Mb of its 512 MB Ram.

 

System Infos:
Jas OS X 10.4.8 ( Jas 10.4.8.semthex.pkg patch)

 

What I did:

I installed Jas OS 10.4.7 so i had support for ethernet card ( RTL 8139) because it did not work when I installed 10.4.8. Then I patched 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 using "Jas 10.4.8.sethex.pkg" and installed the "10.4.8.ATI.Radeonnx1x00.agp.support.pkg".

Now I have the problems I described above.

 

Hardware:
System: Dual-boot OSX 10.4.8 Jas native / Windows XP Pro
Processor: Intel P4 Prescott 3,20 Ghz HT
Mainboard: AsRock P4VM800
RAM: 1 GB RAM DDR
Onboard audio: AC'97 Audio
Graphics: Sapphire ATI Radeon x1600 Pro 512MB Ram DDR2 AGP
Hard-disk: Maxtor 200 GB SATA drive
Ethernet: Realtek RTL8139

for an update.

To fix this error, go to Terminal and type:

cd /System/Library
sudo rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache
cd Extensions
sudo chown -R root:wheel ATINDRV.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 ATINDRV.kext

And reboot.

that worked beautifully but now this error comes up:
