Outstanding Conq. I'm just waiting for some confirmation before I attempt this upgrade myself. I also need to make a backup copy just in case as well, I don't have one yet.

Well, I Installed the update, got the screen like everyone else.

I then manualy patched the gma files in single user mode (I couldn't get dellefi to run after the install), and after a reboot get the stretched screen, but at least I can see things.

Next I just reran DellEFI (selecting only to reinstall the extensions) and everything works again.

conq's instructions probably will work too (although I haven't tried them and you shouldn't need to reinstall the dsdt), but I now have 10.5.7 working.

Yep you're probably right about the dsdt, just posted the exact steps I followed. I figure it couldn't hurt.

Definitely doesn't hurt, plus your instructions are easier (no terminal).

The garbled screen probably happens because of the dellEFI changes in post 1.07. Before that we installed more kernel extensions than needed, but now we just patch the bare minimum. Because of this, we have discrepancies in kext versions after an update which probably caused the problems. Before 1.07, all of the graphics related kexts are in /Extra so this problem probably won't happen.

Here's what you need to do.
Download the installer, don't use Software Update. Install 10.5.7, in my case i downloaded the Combo.
Let it reboot.
At the boot screen use the -x to enter Safe Mode.
After in Safe Mode run DellEFI.
Reinstall the Mini 9 Extensions and remove custom dsdt.aml file.
Reboot.
At the boot screen use the -x to enter Safe Mode.
After in Safe Mode run DellEFI.
Install custom dsdt.aml file.
Reboot.

That worked for me, i'm on 10.5.7.
The fix works. Thank you!!!! :-)

I just safe mode booted, re-ran dellefi and reinstalled the kexts, rebooted and it worked no problem.

Touchpad is all crazy fast, but I probably just need to reinstall meklort's kext, I'll do that later, too busy playing video games now

OK, I'm an idiot. Exactly how do you boot into single user mode? I thought you held down the s key. what's with x? S doesn't seem to work either.
