Hi,

so i managed to install Mac OS X Yosemite on my Alienware M15x Laptop without any trouble, simply following the unibeast guide and my previous experience installing ML & Mavericks on the same laptop,

most of the thing work directly post installation,

but the main issue is the graphic. it seems that the system wont load a proper .kext for my graphic card, thus i only can get 1024x768 resolution,

and in about mac display, it showed as "Display 3MB"

My Full Specs are :

Alienware M15X
Nehalem i7 - 920XM
NVIDIA GTX460M
DDR3 1333Mhz 16GB
SSD + HDD

Currently running Mac OS X 10.9.5 with 99% of Hardware Working (put aside battery) including Speedstep, GPU stepping & Full Accel, WiFi, Bluetooth, Backlight & All else,

Graphics is working out of the box with Mavericks, i only added SSDT for CPU stepping,

any idea what i might have to do to make it works in Yosemite?

Note :

I only managed to enter installation screen after i removed graphics kext from unibeast thumbdrive (but of course the current real OS Drive has the kext in it)
 
manage to fix the graphic,

but now it takes very long time to login the system, (actually it take sforever to login after entering password)

is there a way to bypass login screen?
