Official HD 4000 Support

[pvdw]

My B75M build is a 3770. Details in my sig. My BIOS is set to 64MB. GE=Yes. HD4000 works fine.

I did my installation with HD4000 only, LCD connected to DVI. After that I put in my GT640 and changed GE=No to accommodate the GPU.

Argghh!! I've been such an idiot. The 3570 (non-K) has HD2500. I really hate when Intel does this deliberate reduction of graphics on non-K parts! At least now I know why I couldn't get HD4000 to work, cos I don't have it!

ROFL. Well, if it's not there, it'll be hard to get it to work. Same thing happened to me with HD3000 when I bought a 2500 instead of a 2500k.

The crazy thing about it is that the people who want 'K' processors for overclocking are generally the ones who will use discreet graphics cards. Seems to me that Intel has things the wrong way round.

UseKernelcache=No fixed it but the boot time increases, so now I'm using UseKernelcache=Yes + my resolution, working 100%

UseKernelCache=No seems to have fixed up my graphics acceleration. It sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. I rebooted it three times in a row with no acceleration, then saw your post. Thanks for the tip. Boot time seems okay for now, so I'm leaving it be.

Ι have installed the mountain lion 10.8.2 software in my desktop using the page's guide... i have a troubleshooting.... my vga (ati radeon 4670HD 512mb) doesn't set signal on at my secondary DVI in order to turn on mirroring between my pc and my tv...
I still have no signal even if i connect DVI2 ...
Is there any way to be done with KExts or anything else?? Or can you please tell me which vga could be ideal for hackintosh software (mountain lion 10.8.2)?? I will replace my vga if i have to....


Thank you very much!!!

What does it mean "+ my resolution"? How this string looks like?

I have the 3570K as well, meaning I have HD4000 graphics, but I still can't get it to work. I can get 1080p in safe mode on HDMI but when I boot up normally its garbled. I tried all of the strings and none of them worked (my resolution is properly set in the plist). One interesting thing I noticed on my machine is that the system report > graphics reports the following:
Device ID: 0x0166
Revision ID: 0x0009
so I ended up settling down on the 9 version of the string. However I still cannot get it to work. The "About this Mac" correctly reports the graphics as HD4000 with 512MB, but obviously it doesn't give me that much vram. My mobo is an ASRock z77 pro3, and the UEFI bios does not have any options to configure the GPU memory as mentioned in the first post. Can someone help me with this please?

I can confirm this. With the same device IDs.

I have a laptop computer with a HD4000 and Nvidia 660M. This combo goes by "Optimus".

In 10.8.0 I have with -f -x the GUI on my laptops internel LCD. After the 10.8.2 update the GUI in safemode only works on an external (HDMI) Screen.

None of the mentioned stuff worked:

- Injecting the EFI string made the HD4000 kext loading (no luck on GUI neither internal nor external)
- Patching the connectors made no difference

Has anyone had an issue with no signal whatsoever after a reboot?

I had a successful ML install and went to plug in an HDMI monitor and lost all video. Mobo is a GA-B75M-D3P.

I can get video through an old ATI card I installed but nothing out of the VGA/DVI/HDMI ports on the board...where did my HD 4000 go????

Soooo I screwed my system pretty badly - worst part is, I'm not sure how. :-\

I could not get my HD4000 graphics working, despite having a reputably compatbile system (3750K + UD5H). My system was working with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and GraphicsMode to set my screen resolution, but video was completely unreliable and would not work in many apps. I tried the last string (iig-platform-id: 01620005) by inserting the long hex string (supplied so kindly by the OP) as written, into my boot.plist. I left graphicsenabler set to yes, which I realized might be dumb immediately after I shut down my machine.

Now, I cannot boot into the OS. Here's what happens:

I boot up. I get the BIOS beep. I see the bootloader screen. I press enter on my OS partition, which is the only partition, and wait. At the moment I should see the login screen, my monitor all goes dark and the system whirs invisibly. When I try to reboot, I don't even get the BIOS beep unless I unplug my keyboard and mouse before rebooting and plug them back in after the beep. (Wha!?!)

I fixed this back screen problem before by using a very simplified boot.plist copied from Chameleon's boot.plist, but now that I've added the device key, I can't even get into the system to change the .plist back. I've tried -x, -f, -F and graphicenabler=no.

Has anyone else had this problem before? Could it be that I messed up the device key string, or just used the wrong one? If not, does anyone know how I can edit my plist from outside the OS, perhaps through the terminal in the Mountain Lion installer?

I'm running the 3750K with the UD5H, no graphics card, DVI monitor and that's about it.

I know there's a Hackintosh Dr. House out there that can help me...

Thanks e'erbody!
