I have the following problem. Whatever settings I use, one of two things happens: either I boot into OS X ok but without acceleration and with About this Mac saying Intel 530 4MB - or I get a black screen about 3/4 of the way into the Apple Logo progress bar. I noticed that there was HD activity after the screen goes black, so I enabled screen sharing and could VNC into the computer from another computer while the screen was black. About this Mac showed the correct 1536MB and acceleration was enabled (Final Cut runs). However there are only two options for resolution: 1280x1024 or 1024x768. My monitor's native resolution is 1366x768. I am using the DB15 VGA connector, not DP or HDMI.
Windows 10 runs perfectly on this computer/monitor combination at 1366x768 by the way.

VGA not supported. Use digital connection to monitor (DVI-D, DP, or HDMI).
