Official HD 4000 Support

Bought ultrabook Fujitsu Lifebook UH552 (VFY:UH552MF025RU) Silver. Will I be able to install and use Mac OS X 10.8.2?

Your monitor and your motherboard both have a D-sub and a DVI connector, which one are you using? If you are using the D-Sub connector you may have a hard time getting it to work, as you may have read in this thread. If you use the DVI connector it should work OOB with Mountain Lion, provided that you put this in org.chameleon.boot.plist (in your /Extra folder):

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32</string>

Is there a similar way to get things working with a monitor with a resolution of 1680 x 1050?

I went by a friend's office earlier & was unable to get things to play nice with his monitor, which he said is a few years old...

Assuming the monitor connected actually supports 1680 x 1050:
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1680x1050x32</string>

GA-Z77-DS3H intel H4000. Could someone help me enable VGA port. Working on a friend's Hack.

The VGA port works natively for me (same hardware) but mountain lion doesn't recognize the HD 4000 :/

Some progress! I have the VGA-port and HDMI-port working in an extended desktop configuration using this edit in AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext:

@1, 04 06 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00 00 // (HDMI)
@2, 06 02 00 00 02 00 00 00 30 00 00 00 // (VGA)
@3, 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 // (NONE)

BUT: it's only working when I start the computer with the HDMI-port disconnected.

- When I start the computer with only the VGA-port connected, the VGA-monitor is working correctly as the main screen. Once Mountain Lion is up and running, I plug in the HDMI-connector and the extended screen on the HDMI-monitor appears. Now both monitors are working correctly. That's how I want it to be!

- When I start the computer with both the VGA-port and HDMI-port connected, the extended screen on the HDMI-monitor is shown, which is correct, but the screen on the VGA-monitor is garbled, unreadable.

So my question is: how can I make the monitors working correctly when they are both connected at startup? Do I have to set GraphicsEnabler=No as boot-option and apply some edits in the DSDT? I have a DSDT, because I enabled HDMI audio following toleda's guide.

If someone can shed a light, please do!

Hello, thanks to all.
I´ve been trying to enable VGA port in my friend´s GA-Z77-DS3H. He is running 10.8.2 with multibeast. I already got a DSDT that doesn´t seem to work too well. Downloaded a HEX editor and took a look to AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext but I don´t know where to start, or where to do the edits. I´d appreciate any help. We want to run that machine in a VGA lcd screen; don´t need dual monitor.

I can get VGA port to work with Graphincsenabler=NO, but that doesn´t give me a good resolution, neither acceleration.

Look for this string in AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext: 02 05 00 00 00
The whole block looks probably something like this:
02 05 00 00 00 04 00 00 07 01 00 00
03 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 07 01 00 00
04 06 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00 00

which means:
02 05 00 00 00 04 00 00 07 01 00 00 // (DisplayPort)
03 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 07 01 00 00 // (DisplayPort)
04 06 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00 00 // (HDMI)

(maybe the block is different on your system, because the GA-Z77-DS3H MOBO has no DisplayPort connectors)

Change the block to:
04 06 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00 00
06 02 00 00 02 00 00 00 30 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

which means:
04 06 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00 00 // (HDMI)
06 02 00 00 02 00 00 00 30 00 00 00 // (VGA)
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 // (NONE)

Save the changes and see if it works. Be sure to make a backup of AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext, so you can revert to the original situation in case it's not working. Better yet, make a backup of your whole system if you can.

There is no guarantee that you will get the VGA-port working, it's a lot of trial-and-error. Read this whole thread and try different strings for the VGA connector, for example 01 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 09 00 00 00 instead of 06 02 00 00 02 00 00 00 30 00 00 00.

Edit: Important => See toleda's post below!

Editing the wrong framebuffer results in no change to system behavior. There are 8 instances of 02 05 00 00 00 in the 12 framebuffers. First step is to find the framebuffer that is loading from IOReg/GFX0/AAPL,ig-platform-id, i.e., 05 00 62 01. Next find 02 05 00 00 00. This ensures the correct framebuffer is edited.
