HD 4000 graphics and Ethernet adapter in org.chameleon.Boot.plist

[p_lazarou]

Hi all,

After upgrading to 10.9.2 from a perfectly functioning 10.9 installation, I lost the ability to sign in to iCloud, iMessage and the Application Store. After much searching, swearing and wasted time, I found that adding a device-properties key to my org.chameleon.Boot.plist file for the Ethernet adapter restored these services.

Unfortunately, it has thrown my graphics adapter back to 8MB of memory and I have lost the ability to use my second monitor as an independent display. The HD 4000 chip required its own device-properties key in the .plist file and worked fine until I added the Ethernet key below it.

Any thoughts on how I can have both working properly at the same time?

You found the reason property type injection is not recommended. Remove the injections, add EthernetBuiltIn=Yes and IGPlaformID=[HD4000 framebuffer, i.e., 0166000A for Desktops]. See New Intel HD Graphics Boot Flags in Chimera
