Does anybody get this animation on login screen?
I saw this animation one time, when i was installed lion 10.7.0 with xMove, on the very first login screen just after the clean install. The graphics card ROM Revision was reported as EFI penGL Engine... in system profiler at the first time, after chameleon it's came up with ROM Revision 62.92.1A.00.00. I think Rom revision has something with this, or boot-loader. I can not inject EFI strings to get to change ROM revision because of 10.7.2 has issues with that. Does anybody has another solution for ROM Revision, so i can test the login animation. Or a complete solution for the animation?
Thanks in Advance.

GPU: 8800GT 512MB
Boot-loader: Chameleon v2.1svn r1864.
Only using GraphicsEnabler=Yes in boot.plist

The spinning wheel shows up sometimes for some people, though not everyone. There was some post a while back on how to enable it. The only other thing is the white block below the sign-in line, haven't seen that before.

I note in you are using Chameleon....generally Chimera is the default bootloader in MultiBeast for Lion, so you could installing the latest bootloader.....

Thank you for your reply.
I thing that white block is a apple mouse, i checked the string under it "connesso", it means connected in Italian language. And i have used latest and oldest chimera revisions as well, no change on login screen, but chimera revisions give errors on boot, and disables audio. So i am using chameleon without any error. I think there is some trick with GPU recognition, I think it should be recognized as nVidia GeForce 8800 GT OpenGL Engine in ROM revision. I have done DSDT inject for GPU, Disabled GraphicsEnabler=Yes but it does't recognize the injection. The screen comes up with low resolution, an unrecognized GPU in System Profiler.

Heres the DSDT injection for 8800GT 512MB:
