I've a Lenovo T400 running Mavericks 10.9.4 (no DSDT patching done yet) and can help anyone having similar machine for the procedure and steps. Ask me for the set of kexts.
I've managed to get everything working expect few things listed below.

4: 05 1023 254 63 - 1023 254 63 [ 480225278 - 8171522] Extended DOS

Note: Using modded Whitelist BIOS to enable using non-standard WiFi card.

Ethernet Card : Intel Corporation 82567LF Gigabit Network Connection
Built-In optical drive : HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GU10N:
Battery Status
USB 2.0


Not Checked:
Card reader : Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II
Finger print sensor
Firewire : Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller

Not Working:
Graphics (Intel/ATI integrated, no hardware acceleration) : Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV620/M82 [Mobility Radeon HD 3450/3470], **Intel GM45 Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
**Prefer to use.


VGA Port
Camera (Light comes up but no video)

Note: In future might switch to an external graphics card solution via ViDock or Advanced PCI Dock (2503 Docking Station) for Lenovo T400.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue
Camera light comes up for FaceTime/Photo Booth but video is not displayed. This might have something to do with IOUSBFamily.kext Currently i'm using v3.4.4 for IOUSBFamily.kext

:!: Update
Strange behaviour : Camera works only if using with System Preferences > Users & Groups > Change Picture > Camera. (check attached pictures).
Then only it starts showing video in FaceTime/Photo Booth, else the both windows stay dark without video and the light is constantly on.

USB Ports : UHCI controller would be unloaded across sleep during boot and USB is detected as Expansion Slot.

Output from System Profiler:
USB Hi-Speed Bus:
Host Controller Location: Expansion Slot
Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBEHCI
PCI Device ID: 0x293c
PCI Revision ID: 0x0003

If you need output from IORegistry explorer, lspci or any other tool i can attach that.
Would appreciate any guidance on the matter.


Thanks,
bkd

hi, as no QE/CI for intel GMA4500, can you at least watch a movie or youtube/vimeo on it full screen?
if it's usable for that task, please post your method and kexts.
