Enabling HD 3000 graphics on 7-series motherboards, and HD 4000 on 6-series motherboards

[Slender]

I use Z68MA with

Ivy Bridge using HD 4000 graphics.
I made the suggested modification and here the results:
GraphicsEnabler =Yes doesn't work, still get artifacts.
GraphicsEnabler =No doesn't work, still get 64mb shared ram
With -x (SafeBoot) option it works perfectly ​

Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB

Update: set bios Video mem to 96Mb, GE=yes now fully working

Please add this to multibeast.. I will try the manual process described above and see if it fixes my problem first though.. currently waiting for another install of ML to finish.

Please add it. Im using B75 with a i3 Dual Core Sandy Bridge with graphics (2120 I think)

Thanks!

Similar here.. core i3 w/ b75. I'd love to see it in MultiBeast!

I will try the manual edit though too.

T think it would be a great asset to Multi Beast. I would use it myself when I can get my hands on a good 7 series Mini ITX board.

Thanks salty dog. I guess you use chimera and no dsdt injection (and no EFI Strings as your boot.plist suggest).

if you look at my short history of posts you will see I was banging my head against the wall on this. I finally gave up and bought a cheap 8400gs video card. PLEASE add it.

Awesome. Works great. Thanks, been messing with this for about a week.

I have a question. I am running a Z68 with an intel i5 ivy bridge, so that's intel hd 4000 graphics, but I appear to be missing the AppleIntelFrameBuffer kext and the other one doesn't appear to have the info.plist. Should I have ran multibeast with some sort of graphics checked first?

I assume that if I have an H61N motherboard and Ivy Bridge, I will have to follow Tonymac's described steps the other way around. correct?

I think it would be worth while adding to MultiBeast if it is straight forward for you guys to do. One reason is that some users in a month or two may not find this guide on the home page as new articles and guides move it off the home page or a few pages back.

Your guide here is simple and straight forward to follow though.

can someone explain to me why this is better than just injecting the other device-id of the MEI device via DSDT? if you inject via DSDT, you don't have to hack kexts every time an update is released, right?

or am I missing something...?
