I'm sorry, couldn't help much on a notebook/laptop. My experience was only with Lenovo/S10 way back in 2008 and it was using a pre-configured installer. Check the tonymacx86 forum and see if there is anyone there that have the same specs as yours.

Best is to get the 10.9.5 installer and using unibeast, try to boot it up and see if it lead you anywhere.

I'm 100% sure this has to do with the GPU. I had a problem with my daughter's desktop with Nvidia GPU. I temporarily used my son's ATI GPU, install the OS and Nvidia driver and then switch back the GPU. Is there any setting in the BIOS which let you switch to the intel GPU? BTW, what is you notebook make and model?

Since you can't switch the GPU into internal GPU, I guess it is hard to start with.

After you've switched to the internal GPU, try booting into windows, does it use the internalGPU or does it switch back to the Nvidia.

Yeah, just follow the suggested hardware and follow the guide on how to install OSX, you shouldn't be a problem.

Great stuff, do let us know if DW1515 works. Where did you bought the wlan card and how much.

As long as it is using the normal USB and no special driver needed, it should.

Magic keyboard? You mean the wireless keyboard? Not worth it I would say, you will not operate your keyboard far away from your workstation anyway. Most complains I saw with these wireless thingy is the battery life.

What kind of wireless mouse you're using? Try updating the driver.

Preparing my machine to be Yosemite ready .. and downloading it right now, but yieks, 2 hours to go on my Maxis 10Mbps

Done!

Distro? Hmm, I'm using Unibeast to install + multibeast to add missing/required extensions.

Yup, be careful, I had a problem when I ran the Multibeast the second time, I believe it does something which caused my SSDT.aml to be removed from the /Extra and I couldn't boot. Probably because the first time I've selected not using DSDT but I copied my DSDT & SSDT from my previous installation.

Chimera, have no problem with it for so long, so, sticking with it

I don't use imessage, so I've no idea how it works or if it is not working. Running message, I'm connected to jabber.

Anyway, one thing I've just realised, my audio gone when my pc wakes up from sleep. Rebooting brings back the audio.

After installing yosemite using unibeast, you need to install some stuff from multibeast including chimera. I would avoid doing some unnecessary stuff yet. Installing bootloader/Extra into EFI partition is a nice to have feature but not needed really.

That means that you may need to add something into your /Extra/org.chameleon.boot.plist. If you've Mavericks installed before, just copy some of the information from your previous installation.

I don't think you can source it locally, many sold here are the Intel ones and not the Broadcom. Do check the compatibility before you source the card.

I did a fresh install, I've never install newer OS over the old on major releases.

Nice, I tried clover once and I bailed out, couldn't get into the installer at all on my daughter pc and when I upgraded mine, I couldn't afford too much downtime since it is my main/work pc. Might try installing into my T410S and see...
