Sorry, graphics acceleration. Quartz Extreme/Core Image. Might be a Hackintosh term.
Got a tip for us?

If your current installation is kp'ing, reinstall using latest patcher on hfs+ volume, reboot then apply 4,1 fixes, usb patch, sip patch, bootlist patch and then reboot back into installer, open terminal and copy the telemetry file from your High Sierra /System/Library/UserEventPlugins/ into your Mojave 'UserEventPlugins' folder then reboot into your Mojave installation.
That or you could wait for @dosdude1 to release an updated patcher with 3,1 included.
I installed Mojave on my 2010 MacBook using this utility

Yes tried them too, as you I achieved a kind of fade in/out effect, but there are simple shades to see if you get QE/CI on the login screen for example if the "Sleep, Restart, Shutdown" buttons are black then there is no acceleration instead if they look transparent there is or if the brightness diming is working. Maybe should attempt some kexts taken from a Sierra installation.
i don't know. I only managed to use it in safe mode though. if not it just crash after login
No, you are right, let's say QE/CI is an old acronym to indicate video graphic acceleration on a Mac OSX, I guess it was strongly used until Mavericks.
Edit:
As we can see nowadays it seems that also OpenGL 4 is becoming old in favor of Metal, Metal 2 and so on.
QE/CI is commonly talked about in the hackintosh realm as they usually have to patch kexts to get full acceleration to work. So when they get QE/CI working 100% they are very happy campers. We're starting to get into that stuff with Mojave and unsupported Macs.
My 2008 machines are tied up right now with some guests playing Fortnite, but I also have a 13" Mac Pro Mid 2009 Core 2 Duo, MacBookPro 5,5 that is free and will try Mojave on it. I actually have two of these machines.
Thank you for all your help. Would it be possible to add the The continuity activation tool with your patcher
Nope, SSE4.1 needed since ElCapitan, MacPro1,1/2,1 Xeons don't have SSE4.1.

Yeah. In system information it USED to say "Quartz Extreme: Supported / Core Image: Supported" but it doesn't anymore
[doublepost=1531072271][/doublepost]
We don't normally do this because it would become too "cluttered" but I might consider it
Add it as an optional patch. Maybe improve it a bit if you can. Also add NightPatch as a patch.
What's your Wi-Fi card?
My Atheros 9380 AirPort Extreme lost support on Mojave, but the Broadcom BCM94322MC on my 4,1>5,1 still has. I have one here from a MacBook 2009 to replace the Atheros on my 2008.
I have tried replacing with Sierra kexts but doesn't take any effect.
I get in verbose mode before GUI appears some messages related to can't load NVDAResman and IONDRV...
I wanted to point out that inspecting inside GeforceTesla.kext folder content info.plist the required kexts to load Nvidia 320m are essentially the ones you wrote and I add a couple involved (marked in red):
GeForceTesla.kext
GeForceTeslaGLDriver.bundle
GeForceTeslaVADriver.bundle
IOGraphicsFamily.kext
IONDRVSupport.kext
NVDANV50HalTesla.kext
NVDAResmanTesla.kext
GeForceGA.plugin
IOPCIFamily.kext
NVDAStartup.kext (not sure if really required)
And probably they use IOAccelerator.Framework and perhaps IOAcceleratorFamily2 kext
Maybe another good attempt would be to use an old Nvidia Web Driver but can't find a valid one compatible in High Sierra at least. It seems also that Nvidia 320m Tesla is CUDA capable:

Edit:
I have found an old link to the latest official Nvidia 320m (also good for 9400M) for snow leopard, this was the official Mac CUDA driver dated July 2010: http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-3.1-driver.html
here another more recent September 2010: http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-3.1.17-driver.html
Installed CUDAdriver.pkg from macosx-cuda-3.1.17.dmg on HS 10.13.6 beta 3 and I can say it is safe and working, it shows correctly in System Preferences with a new preference pane.
Edit2:
Installed CUDAdriver.pkg on Mojave beta 2, it seems to load something till the GUI, but during verbose boot some lines messages "failed to load NVDAResmanTesla", so no QE/CI yet, even if CUDA panel shows in Mojave System Preferences.
Edit3:
found another update for Nvidia 320m or 9400m: http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-4.0.17-driver.html
The driver is safe no kernel panic or other issues, to those want to uninstall only way is doing manually; these are the paths to delete files related to Nvidia CUDA driver:
- /System/Library/Extensions/CUDA.kext
- /Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework
- /Library/LaunchAgents/com.nvidia.CUDASoftwareUpdate.plist
- /Library/PreferencePanes/CUDA/Preferences.prefPane
- /System/Library/StartupItems/CUDA/
- /usr/local/cuda

There are instructions on how to install the old wifi driver but I'm not going to say them again. They're like 5 or 6 pages ago. Search for airportatheros40
We have been in that land of patched kexts before on Apple hardware - in the now resting attempts of getting MacBook Pro 2,1 (2007) and old MacMinis with C2D but ATI x1600 GPUs to run up to El Cap. See osxhackers.org for more...
And no, no new dosdude installer, currently still 0.1b2 there.
It also helps to look at who made the last recent changes on the #1 wiki page ;-)
It hasn’t been updated yet. Only the wiki post has been.
Strangeness.
Had my MacBook 7,1 running exactly with the kexts you swapped. I had to boot a couple of times due to KPs at reaching the finder desktop. (Did not think about safe-booting, but in the end it worked with a stable system and acceleration).
Out of sheer curiosity, I applied the patches from the boot stick again (patcher v. 0.1b2). After this, just crashing every time at reaching the desktop.
Since then, I try to redo all steps but have either crashes or no acceleration at all...
I have Mojave running on my Eight-Core Mac Pro 2008 with com.apple.telemetry.plugin replaced from HS as stated on this thread and OP.
Excellent work.
I have a newer Nvidia GPU (Titan X Maxwell). I'll be trying to get the latest web drivers to work. There is a thread somewhere on getting web drivers to run on newer macOS'.
