HP ProBook Installer 6.1: 4x30s and 4x40s support

HP ProBook Installer 6.1 (beta): Ivy bridge support

Yep, I still need blinkscreen from the Installer to restore the ability to use all the brightness levels. (without it there are only 4-5 levels) It basically makes your display "blink" (i.e. puts it into sleep and wakes it) but you can do that manually as well - by setting, for example, a hotcorner for "Put display to sleep".
The difference between Chimera and Chameleon is that the latter remembers the specific brightness level that was set before (shutting down/restarting the laptop) while Chimera arbitrarily sets the highest (or lowest, can't remember - probably the highest though) available level of brightness every time system is booted.

Thanks Rehabman! Your solution of setting graphics to 1920x1080 in Chameleon Wizard solved the problem of my funny resolution and screen dislodgement during the user account login screen. Once again many thanks!

You sure about that? Did you rebuilt the kext cache? Because I did it two or three times after installing the kext, just in case and the HDMI audio works for me (on my LG M3323D). I don't even sure if this patch has something to do with the HDMI audio, because as far as I know, the only thing, needed for enabling the HDMI audio is DSDT edits and we already have them.

I don't know why, but this is true! sound works by hdmi cable on my panasonic tv with patched kext 10.8.3 from installer 6.1 b11, and if i install this one there is not even device in system settings/sound!!! may be i should try to install both kexts (graphic and frameburner)???

Hm, not really sure about that, but I have both kexts installed. Maybe you should try with both kexts installed too.
