Hi,

My long lasting friend 8800gt died today, which I was using for the third monitor. I've been trying to make the HD4000 work well with my gtx460 for hours. Not very successful so far.

After reading this thread, here's what I did so far:

-On the BIOS; the primary display is set to the HD4000
-Graphics enabler is set to yes.
-Graphics Mode is set to 1920x1080x32
-PCIRootUID=1

The first problem is, it takes a very very long time to boot the OS. With the sata3 and SSD it normally takes around 5-10 seconds after chimera to get to desktop. This goes up to 2 minutes with the above settings.

When I get to the desktop, I'm getting 1920x1080 resolution from the HD4000, with no other resolution options. Which is fine as long as it runs fine, but it doesn't. I don't think the QE acceleration is working. When i move windows around they're all laggy and teary(like I need to turn on a V-sync option). Also I can't adjust screen settings like brightness or contrast. None of the profiles work. When I click on a profile the screen flashes and nothing changes.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Specs:
-ML 10.8.2
-GA-Z77X-UD5H
-i5 3570k
-GTX460
-8 gigs of ram

Thanks!
 
Now a new problem I'm having is Photoshop CS6 detecting the HD4000 as the graphics processor(image below), even though I use it on the monitor that's connected to the gtx460.



And this is my system report window. I don't know if Photoshop using the top graphics source as processor, but I've tried getting gtx460 to the top by trying PCIRootUID =0/1, both of them resulting on the bottom. Although I'm not even sure that's the way to move them on the list.
