Thank you very much for all the support. I have finally solved reinstalling MacOSX from a Combo Update. I think ity was a corrupted driver. Now this is my system configuration (as was time ago)

Quartz Extreme should always work on that mac. Try resetting the PRAM, and the PMU.

hank you very much for the suggest. I reset PRAM and PMU (unplug all cable, wait and re-plug cable while pressing ON button, release and start again).

Sadly nothing has changed.

I also reset NVRAM (Command+Option+O+F at startup, then reset-nvram, set-defaults, reset-all), but nothing.

I have heard of a phantomatic SMU or PMU button reset on the logic board... any suggest for it?

Thank you again for the help.

I'm not entirely sure where it is, if it exists, but i will check for you and see if I find anything.

Resetting the SMU button is in one of the last steps in this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2094

Both my mac-minis developed the "Quartz Extreme not longer supported" problem. I started my project on one then switched to the other. Reinstalling the system fixed this problem for me. It's a tedious fix but I was on a deadline and none of the other "fixes" were working for me (like changing the display settings or restarting) Plus I ran out of computers to switch to. I was surprised that this problem goes back to early 2008 and Apple has yet to address it in any serious way. I did an exhaustive search and finally came across the re-install fix here. Thanks ifixit.com!

re-Install or upgrade mac os x to version 10.5 and upgrade safari 5.0.6 and itune 10.5 then you can see Quartz Extreme: Supportato ok

The remedy is to reinstall over the existing os, then the quartz comes back.

I see the quartz disappeared under 2 conditions so far,

1. os crash, reboot, no more quartz

2. when the space filling up, apps start to freeze, I close all the apps, then restart, then quartz has gone

Mine is mac air, so the space is pretty thin, pry why it happens to me so many times.

I think it has to do with the corruption of some config files, Apple should find the way to bombproof them.
