Here's an update to my latest efforts to get this system running:
- I flashed my BIOS to F5
- Went through the BIOS settings and changed some things other people recommended here:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/99-quick-guide-configuring-uefi-gigabyte-s-7-series-lga-1155-boards
- Got up and running with my VGA-only temporary screen connected to the VGA port.
I was somewhat surprised that the vga out actually works. I was going to use the mini display port to vga adapter on the thunderbolt port but that won't work at all.
Hopefully this doesn't mean the thunderbolt ports are not working because that's the whole point for getting this particular board.
Anyways, this screen is going to be replaced by an acer 23" 10 point capacitive touchscreen with hdmi and dvi (I think) next week, so I won't be stuck with vga.
It looks like the HD3000 isn't working properly yet, Youtube won't play, resolution is fixed to 1024 x 768, says no kext loaded in the graphics section of the system report. Also iPhoto only shows thumbnails and full size pics only show briefly while scrolling from one to another. Tried to fix that by rebuilding the library but to no avail. Quicktime movies do play, though.
Not sure if QE/CI is working either.
I found Tony's tutorial about editing info.plists for the AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext and AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext for SB chips on 7-series mobos and tried the edits on a clone.
The clone only boots with ignore caches, by the way, but otherwise nothing seems to have changed as far as graphics are concerned. I actually tried it on the clone twice.
So I guess the question now is if the graphics problems are only coming from using the vga port and will be gone when connecting to hdmi or dvi (new screen has no thunderbolt anyways) and/or if there are any other things I should change to get things right.
Also if anybody could tell me how to get the clone to boot normally that would be great. I did install chimera after cloning.
When booting I get "AGPM controller unknown platform" and also "SNB Framebuffer did not show up, unload", fortunately it does boot, but it takes a little longer.
Thanks for getting me this far! Unfortunately I need some more help.
I copied things that looked like they could be relevant from the console and will paste it below. Note that I was offline so some of the errors are probably connection errors.
So here are excerpts from the console:
