My microphone isn't working, but I haven't really looked into it.

Let me know how the graphics work. If anything goes wrong, remove those lines or copy the backup over the edited one and reboot.

I tried and the only think I got after reboot was a black screen. I had to set "device-properties=Null" to boot and change it back to my old "'org.chameleon.boot.plist".
With graphics the only thing that was going wrong for me (I think) was that sometimes things would flicker. Let's say I was on youtube all the windows around me would flicker.
I set my brightness from 100 somewhere around 80, and now i don't have this problem.
 
The flickering happens because the unaccelerated graphics can't update the screen fast enough. For most things on a computer, it works, but you can't play any games or do anything that requires updating the screen frequently.

I get it now!
I hope we can find something out.
Also I wanna use skype. The other person can see me, but i don't see them, or even my self. The green light is on while skyping.
Do u have any special kexts, or it has to do with accelerated graphics?
Thanks for your support!
 
Hey,

I just tried adding
Code: 
[COLOR=#000000]<key>device-properties</key>
[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]<string>7f0000000100000001000000730000000200000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04002c0000004100410050004c002c00690067002d0070006c006100740066006f0072006d002d006900640000000800000004006601140000006800640061002d0067006600780000000d0000006f6e626f6172642d31</string>[/COLOR]
to my org.chameleon.boot.plist and now graphics acceleration is working!

After adding that, remove
Code: 
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32</string>
as it is no longer needed.

Also, I've noticed that in the About this Mac menu, it sometimes shows the processor speed as 1.2GHz. Are either of you getting this.
 
Congrats on getting the hardware acceleration going!

I seem to not have a chameleon boot loader at the moment, and am just booting off of my USB key, but I will try the graphics thing at another time!

As for the processor speed, my normal speed seems to be recognized. Maybe it has something to do with the Mac Pro settings from multibeast?
 
Glad to say hardware acceleration is now working, no more flickers... You guys are the greatest, thanks so much for the help
 
I don't think this related to the system definition because it has happened using Mac Pro 3,1 and MacBook Pro 9,1 (uses i7 3720QM).

I've noticed that 1.2 GHz is the lowest frequency I get in windows and it changes as there is more work for the CPU. This seems be a problem with speedstep on OS X. I added
Code: 
	<key>GeneratePStates</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
last night, but that didn't fix it right away. Today I'm getting 2.59 GHz.

Maybe this is just a problem with 10.7.5 as there are not AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext patches for made for it.

I just saw your post, and I was gonna write to use the same as you did. Well I should have looked in here before looking anywhere else!

<key>device-properties</key>
<string>7f0000000100000001000000730000000200000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04002c0000004100410050004c002c00690067002d0070006c006100740066006f0072006d002d006900640000000800000004006601140000006800640061002d0067006600780000000d0000006f6e626f6172642d31</string>
</plist>

This worked for me as well! Thank you guys for all the help :)

And yes, i get 1.20 ghz intel core i7...
 
I noticed that I was only getting the 1.2 GHz thing when I was booting using battery power. I checked in bios and found power settings for when the computer is on ac and battery power. Setting them both for best performance seems to fix the problem and now I'm getting 2.59 GHz all the time.
