Funny, I can't use Unibeast w/o graphics acceleration. Click on the desired OSX version doesn't select it.
So must fix the graphics.

Haswell computer Installed 10.6.3 OK. I continue to use iboot[Haswell] because there is no Multibeast for Snow & Haswell I'm told.
My Video is MSI r 7570. Snow hasn't identified it correctly. It says:
PCIe lane width x8, VRAM 256,Vendor 0x1002,Device ID 0x68b8, Revision 0x0000, No Kext Loaded

Suggestions of things for me to try to fix graphics acceleration.

Note: I have had this problem in almost 5 years. I don't recall how I fixed it then on another PC.[I don't recall a lot these days[almost 80].
 
Have you tried graphics string injection in your config.plist or org.chameleon.boot.plist if installing Legacy mode?

You might want to post over in the Post Installation->Graphics forum and get some better help for your GPU problems.

Yes, I used efi studio to get the graphics string & added it to the boot.plist file.

The first thing you need to understand is that installing SL with the patched kernel in iBoot Haswell is just a stopgap measure to get you started. The second thing to understand is you will never get Haswell hardware running stable with anything earlier than Mavericks 10.8.5 for 8 series boards and 10.9.0 and up for 9 series boards.

The best thing you can do now is to update to 10.6.8 and dowload the El Capitan install app and create a UniBeast (Clover) USB installer and install El Capitan on your Haswell Hardware.
 
I don't remember but I think getting to install via a Unibeast based clover still depends on video acceleration working so I can select the OSX version with a click on that part of UNIBEAST creation.
If I still need acceleration I'm blocked from the Unibeast solution RIGHT??
As I mention. I have thus far been unsuccessful in getting an upgrade to 10.6.8 to work SO FAR.
I'll take another look at the various Unibeast versions and see if they all require video acceleration.

OF COURSE I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.
