Intel HD 4000 Troubleshooting Tips

If you use HD 4000 integrated graphics with any of the latest CustoMac recommended boards and have problems with your graphics at boot, such as wavy garbled lines the quick fix is to hotswap unplug/replug your monitor's cord from the motherboard. If this works, you can solve it permanently.

The permanent fix is to add your monitor's Graphics Mode to /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist or install 1080p Display Mode from the latest MultiBeast.
Hope this helps! Add your tips here.

This might be a dumb question but how the I enable the Graphics Mode I tried to use Multibeast to enable 1080p but did not work that way.

Yea kept trying what you said just got it to work thank you!!

Hi Tony,

I have a 2013 Customac Mini:

i3 3225
GA-H77n-WIFI
4GB RAM
64GB SSD
1TB HDD
intel 4000 HD

I followed the Unibeast + Multibeast installation guide provided in the forums and the Customac Mini 2012 guide which uses the DSDT with HDMI audio from the database. Everything works great, HDMI Audio, sleep, and all my other components. However when I boot I get the garbled screen via HDMI. The hotswap doesn't work on it's own, I have to first put the system to sleep by pressing the power button (I have the sleep via power button with 4 second delay triggering shutdown option selected in the bios) then when I do the hotswap while it is asleep the picture comes back perfect when I wake it up. My plist is already edited with the graphics mode for my projector. It is native 1280x800 but I tried it in "1920x1080x32" and "1280x720x32" and that hasn't solved the problem. Any advice on what else I can do to solve this issue at startup? Thanks for all your help I've already gotten so much from your work and the community.

This describes my exact problem I will try this and let you know hopefully it works out. thanks

I just installed OS X 10.8.4 (UniBeast/MultiBeast) and I get an unreadable screen at boot (appears perhaps the monitor is attempting to display an unsupported video mode but I don't really know).

If I use either the -x (safemode) flag or "Graphics Mode"="1920x1080x32" at boot, then the display works perfectly.

System Specs:
GA-H77M-D3H
Intel Core i3-3225 with HD 4000
OS X 10.8.4

Should I install the 1080p display mode from MultiBeast as described by tonymacx86?

Does unplugging and replugging in your montor after boot fix the screen resolution after boot? If so this flag should fix your problem, it couldn't hurt anyways because its just for boot resolution.

It fixed mine.... It had the same syptoms. A good indicator is what was mentioned already if you can unplug it from the display and plug it back in and its okay then most likely installing the 1080p drivers using multibeast will fix your issue.

Hey,

I have the same problem. For me "Graphics Mode"=... is not working. Now trying to reinstall the system with the 1080p driver from Multibeast. I let you now what happens.

My specs:

GA-Z77N wifi
Intel core i3 3225
Intel HD4000
8 Gigs of Ram

Yes. I just tried unplugging/replugging and it works. I was a bit shy to try this because I didn't know DVI cables could be hot-plugged like that.

So should I install the 1080p Display Mode from MultiBeast or edit /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist ? (how do I do that anyway?)
