Samsung Chronos 7 and Radeon 6750m problems

Hi, I posted about some problems I had when I first got Mavericks installed on my Samsung Chronos 7 notebook here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295816-mavericks-installed-on-samsung-chronos-7-but-with-issues/  The issues I was having before are gone but I'm still having problems with my graphics. Mavericks is still using the "Best for display" setting and the only resolution I have is 1024X768. As it stands now the graphics are stretched out to fill the screen. It's not bad but I'd like to have the native resolution of 1600X900. I've also got Intel 3000 graphics but when I tried a kext to enable them the screen turned a kind of purplish grey colour and whatever was on the screen was stretched and  moved to the right. Basically it was unusable so I had to reinstall Mavericks and as it stands now I'd really  like to get the Radeon 6750m graphics working. If I could do this without installing a kext that would be nice. (I'm a little leery of kexts right now for the reason stated above)  :) But if that's the only way to solve it then I guess I'll give it another try. Here's what my current System Report says about the graphics:

Chipset Model: Intel HD Graphics 3000

  Type: GPU

  Bus: Built-In

  VRAM (Total): 64 MB of Shared System Memory

  Vendor: Intel (0x8086)

  Displays:

Any suggestions? Thanks.

so did you add a MacBook Pro 2011 smbios like I told you to?

you can get at least the hd3000 working since the dev. id is the same...

Yes I was considering that and maybe I'll give it a shot. I'll let you know what happens.
