Hey, been trying to get osx running on my acer e1-571, almost everything is working, except the graphics. I just can't get the card (Intel HD Graphics 4000) recognised right.
I have tried everything i could find via google (Custom DSDT's, editied apple intelsnbgraphics.kext files (both included with driver packs for this laptop) Adding the h400platformid string to org.chameleon.Boot.plist but nothing works, i am running the latest version of chimera (which from what i read should fix it)
This laptop has the graphics reported working so it must be possible....
Is there something i'm overlooking here?
(Btw, i'm running 10.8.2, as when i tried 10.8.3 or 4 i could only boot in safe mode, if i tried booting not in safe mode i got either a kp or it just froze at boot)
Thanks in advance

EDIT: found a tip to edit the device propertys in org.chameleon.Boot.plist to:
And the card is recognized, and dvd player works (which afaik needs CE/CI so that must be working) But i don't get any of the fancy UI effects (such as the transparent menu bar)
Is there any reason for this?
