Ok, I'm getting pretty frustrated here. I've tried all the strings in the original post, and for some reason not a single one of them boots, let alone gives me HD4000 graphics. Either the boot process freezes at macswapon_success or the screen goes dark when the login screen should appear. I can then boot by setting "device-properties=null" at boot. Right now, I see "64MB of Shared System Memory" in the About This Mac section where it should say HD4000. Specs below:
DVI to DVI cable connecting my monitor
UD5H motherboard
Intel 3750K processor
No video card
16 GB Ripjaws RAM
Default Mac Pro system definition
I've tried GraphicsEnabler=Yes and No, but that doesn't change a single thing, oddly enough. I've carefully checked by BIOS settings, and I fastidiously set the memory size for each string. I've done the unplug-replug the monitor dance, and I've tried Chimera through MultiBeast and as a standalone. I found a post on another website from before Chimera was updated to work with HD4000 graphics, and it involved installing that version of Chimera and then using a different method to set the device-properties in the .plist. That's the next thing I'm going to try, I think. I also have a GT 640 on the way that I'm going to install if none of this works, but I don't know if I'll have exactly the same problems.
I need PCIrootUID=1 to boot, otherwise I go into a black screen when I should see the login screen, which is exactly the same problem I'm having with most of the device-properties strings. Should I try taking that out or setting it to zero? I've attached my .plist below, and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I'm beyond frustrated at this point.
Thank you.
