Use this string at chimera/chameleon boot: "HD4000PlatformId=4", and optionally ("Graphics Mode"="1920x1080x32") just don't use "1366x768x32" unless you have that resolution display. Also, you can try "HD4000PlatformId" range from 0,1,2,3,4, (Mine works on 4) Finally, it looks like it might...

Thanks NightTalon, for all the info you posted. All that Low Level BIOS/coding/etc stuff is way beyond my level of expertise. Fortunately, it seems like someone else got VAIO S 2012 models working on Mountain Lion. Link to source...

To Edor, regarding multi-beast, I'll going to give 10.8.x one last try before throwing in the towel. Hopefully if the latest update 10.8.2 (as of this writing) fixes the current list of issues. If it works, I'll update my post. Right now, I just can't get OSX to boot without safe mode, the...

You need to follow the TonyMacx86 Guides to install the bootloaders for OSX for Windows PCs to be able to boot into OSX. Since you already have OSX installed to the HD, you need to install Chimera/Chameleon to your OSX partition. Put your HD back into your mac, then use MultiBeast to install...

Mountain Lion 10.8 Progress cannot continue unless BIOS is modded to allow change to certain settings. I don't know how to mod the BIOS, but I've added a request here (link). Follow up on that link to request support for getting a BIOS mod. (A BIOS mod has already been successfully done on the...

I agree, ML would be better. I can't get ML to boot though. (I installed both Lion and ML on a different computer using my laptop's hard drive). UseKernelCache has always been set to "No." I just installed your IOAHCIFamily kext. ML still doesn't work. I think it's the AHCI/SATA settings on my...

I tried adding the different EFI-strings to the org.chameleon.boot.plist, it doesn't seem to change anything. (Still gray screen on Lion, and garbled display on ML) However, adding <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1920x1080x32</string> got rid of the garbled screen on ML. (GraphicsEnabler=Yes...

Windows says 64MB (Cpu-Z/Intel Graphics Control Panel). One the referring page, there are 4 different IDs for 64MB. Is it hard to "DSDT inject those IDs"? Would you inject them for me? I just want my laptop to display a proper resolution. ML is supposed to support Nvidia Kepler and HD4000...

CyberWalrus, the first DSDT edit you did for me seems to be on the right track. (For the 2012 VAIO SVS) On Lion, with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, instead of a black screen, now I get a gray screen on my laptop's display. When I plug in a HDMI external monitor, it displays what looks like an "extended...

I've tried to use the DSDT with the EDID edit on Lion, with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, it sorta works, but not really. It now display a grey screen on the laptop's LCD, whereas before it was just a black screen. Maybe i dumped the DSDT when it was switched to speed, i don't remember. I'll upload the...

Here are some extra tips that I've used to help me test OS X. Buy/Use a separate harddrive if you plan on dualbooting windows and OSX. OSX uses hybrid (MBR/GPT) paritions. I've accidently damaged my windows partition as a result. (Windows modify the MBR and does not update GPT. OSX reads the...

My Post/Guide disappeared after i updated it with a link to fix the boot0 (4k/advanced sector format) problem. How do I get it back?

Thanks, your guide really helped too. If creating a custom DSDT is easy, or if there is already a guide on this, I will link it on the frontpage. I've uploaded my DSDT, SSDT, and EDID dumps using the tools CyberWalrus described. How do I make it work?(Would I need the SSDT dumps if for Mountain...
