Is the booting going fine??

Which bootloader?

What are the AMD* kexts are loaded?

What is the device id of the GFX card.?

Thanks for replying.
I am using Multibeast Yosemite edition which contains Chimera bootloader.
device ID is 0x689C1002. I tried to edit AMD5000controller and AMDRadeonx3000 kexts with my device ID but no luck with it.

Don't know about how to check which kexts are loaded? can you explain?

After editing the kext you have to install it with utilities like Kext Wizard, etc. Simply copying to /S/L/E will not be effective or you have to assign proper permissions to the copied kexts through terminal.

After installing the kext, execute repair permission & rebuild caches.

You can check whether kexts loaded or not with below command

kextstat ¦grep -y amd*

I know about using kexts, installed them with Kext Utility. one thing I am reading everywhere is that people asks to edit AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext but in my case, there is no such kext under S/L/E in 10.10.

Currently I have to reinstall mac again as I messed many files in order to get display to work properly. and now its unable to boot.

Here is the kextstat output.

Share the output of the command which is mentioned on the previous post. simply using kextstat will display all the loaded kexts.

In your case AMD5000Controller is showing on the output.

What is showing on the System Information > Graphics/Displays ??

Have you tried with different frame buffer??
