I just got Lion up and running with all the latest advice found here on TonyMac.
My Mac Mini Hackintosh with i5 Ivy Bridge CPU is booting and running, but I can not get the internal Graphic's Card up and running. I installed the appropriate DSDT with Multibeast, but the resolution will not go past 1024 x 768 pix. Any tips to improve this situation are highly appreciated. I suspect the use of the Ivy Bridge CPU, but it can be something else. Du to the small case i used, I can not install a Graphic's Card on the Mainboard.

Sorry for bothering, but I need some clarification.
Do you mean the on board Graphic card ( main board) or the Graphics Unit on the actual i5 Ivy Bridge chip? Thanks.
 
Thanks! I will sell the i5 Ivy bridge chip on eBay and replace it with an i5 Sandy Bridge one in order to avoid installing a video card, due to lack of space in my case.

Ivy Bridge utilizes HD4000, which isn't supported. HD3000 is supported, which is what SB has.
