    From one side it seems that the integrated Intel graphics doesn't work well

    [] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled
    [] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: request ire failed, aborted

    on the other hand it seems that the NVIDIA GT330M discrete graphic card doesn't work too. I followed your procedure and at the second step by blacklisting nouveau drivers, Kali cannot arrive until the login page (while before it freeze after the login).
    By installing legacy drivers (the newest don't support GT330M) Kali blocks as well...

    If I list the available devices however I can see both the GPU, Intel and Nvidia.

    I am running out of ideas, do you have any?
    I have no idea about Macbook ecosystem.I've tried it on regular laptops only.Are you sure your GPU is supported by the Nvidia drvier?Because it seems very old card.Optmius was very different back then.My Guide is for muxless system only.Since your laptop is old,i think its muxed.
