I tried trashing System > Library > Extensions.mkext (Also tried  
trashing BootCache.plist).

I don't remember ever trashing nVidia files. I've been using my ATI  
Radeon 9800 Pro ME ... and switched back to the GeForce4 MX ... I see  
nvidia and ATI drivers. I believe if I go to the G3-G5 site, I can  
put up jpegs? It doesn't list a 4MX one, but there is a 2MX ... it  
also doesn't list a 9800 one, but lists a 9700 ...

Also seem to remember having the ATI card in when I installed  
10.5 ... although I'm not sure.

I'll try to put up the jpegs of the lists of nVidia and GeForce  
drivers as they are appearing on my Leopard 10.5.6 partition (its up  
and I put on File Sharing, so I am looking at it from another Mac on  
the Network).

Sure its not just as simple as trashing an  .mkext that stores  
startup video card specs?
