My 2008 Dell Latitude D630 is fitted with an nVidia Quadro NVS 135M which is based on GeForce 8400M GS, i.e G86M chip and it runs Mojave Ok with full graphics acceleration with HS's nVidia kexts. It's not compatible with Metal and should therefore work Ok under Mojave once you install the old nVidia kexts from High Sierra. The 9500 GT is based on G96 chip and, afaik, was fully supported in High Sierra. I strongly want to avoid upgrading the GPU, due to financial reasons, but I also need to upgrade to Mojave. I need help, at least a suggestion of what and, especially, what can I try. I have looked into the information on this forum about running Mojave on non-Metal GPU but, honestly, I am lost in the information. The Apple logo appears after DSMOS has arrived, it does not seen to be an issue of FakeSMC. I do not use Nvidia drivers, only what is included into macOS itself, the GPU itself being too old to be supported by Web Drivers anyway. Installation went fine for most part, the installer was booted, I was able to install in APFS but, on first boot, when the welcome screen was suppose to come, the PC restarted. Created a custom boot pen drive, with macOS system definitions iMac Early 2013. Some apps were not working (like Maps), but it was fine, mostly. All macOS versions since Mavericks to High Sierra worked, more or less. First public beta builds of Mojave failed to install on my non-Metal, 256 mb Nvidia GPU.
