Official HD 4000 Support

[Vistausss]

So I installed Chimera 1.11.1 on my laptop but every time I try to boot I get a kernel panic saying I need to restart my computer. When I boot from the Install USB Chimera it boots just fine except that there is no acceleration and a weird resolution because it doesn't enable graphics for my HD 4000.

My laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E530, my CPU is i5-3210M (same as in a Macbook Pro).

How to fix this?

I had my dual Monitor setup (1 VGA, 1 DVI-D) working on a pearc hackintosh and 10.6.8 (as in - they emailed install files I have no idea how that worked).
Now on my newly built OSX 10.8 I can't extend the display - it will only show the same screen on both monitors (in their correct different resolutions).
There were some issues with the VGA one (bunch of lines) even though that was perfectly fine/crisp during OSX setup, and is still perfect at the boot screen with the BIOS options.

Is there any way to get this working? I browsed through the topic but most of it was still a little beyond me.

Hi guys

I have GA-B75M-D3H + 3570K, I had to reconnect the hdmi every boot to fix my screen, but I fixed it by adding the resolution to org.chameleon...

But now I'm having another issue, every time the system boots, the HD 4000 behaves differently, sometimes it boots with hardware acceleration, sometimes it does not.

I don't know why it is different every boot.

Thanks

Edit

I think I fixed it, added UseKernelCache=No to .plist

I have two different builds, both with CustoMac motherboards (GA-Z77-D3SH and GA-B75M-D3P), both using HD 4000 via DVI. Both builds work great when set at default "Best for Display" max resolution on each monitor.

The problem is when lowering the resolution in System Preferences for a visually impaired user. When switching to 1024x768, it will then only display the garbled, multi-column mess that I've read about in several other posts. Interestingly, if I Sleep the computer with the power button, and then Wake from Sleep, the lower resolution (1024x768) displays perfectly. It's only on cold boots that I get the garbled display.

The garbled display at low resolution behaves identically on two separate and different spec builds, so I'm assuming it's a common HD 4000 issue. I am using MultiBeast 5.0.2, Chimera 1.11.1, and GraphicsEnabler=Yes.

What have I missed?? Thank you tonymacx86 forums!!!

Now I've done it. While in search for answers, I altered the org.chameleon.boot.plist file. Initially it solved my problem. Then I followed that by adding USB 3.0 drivers with MultiBeast 5.1. Now the boot process ends up with a blank gray screen. Booting in safe mode is the same result...gray screen.

I guess I've corrupted the org.chameleon.boot.plist file. How can I restore?? Dreading the thought of a clean install. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi .. I have the same problem, but only after update to 10.8.2 ....

Do you know the why use ' UseKernelCache=No ' can solve the problem ?? Im just curious ..

thnx

Sounds like you didn't repair permissions in Disk Utility, that rebuilds the kernel cache. Then UseKernelCache=Yes should work again.

UseKernelcache=No fixed it but the boot time increases, so now I'm using UseKernelcache=Yes + my resolution, working 100%

Guys I'm using a Tv and a monitor connected to my hackintosh(mirror), my Tv has Hdmi audio enabled.

If I boot with both turned on, or just the Tv on, I have no problems, but if I boot with the monitor only, I get KP.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I have just completed my 1st build. I made my boot USB on a friends iMac running 10.6.6 and my 10.8.2 installation went fine and all is working well. I used the basic multi beast settings, ticked UserDSDT or DSDT- Free/ALC898 without DSDT/hnak's AppleIntelE1000e. Even my old I-sight firewire camera is working with microphone enabled and sound output to my amp from the green port on the mobo.

The only problem I keep having including after re-installing is that if I re-start the machine at the logon screen after boot the display goes crazy with 5 distorted images across the screen, luckily I know the OS pretty well (not a huge difference to 10.5 IMO) and with some time spent I can get into cyst prefs/displays and re-set the resolution to 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz - it's an old display (will be replaced with a 27" WQHD display port one soon) running from the DVI port. There are posts on here about editing text strings but I'm not too sure where I would find them, the machine is fine waking from sleep. Also if I get a monitor that runs from the display port connector will it be okay as I would rather leave it for a while than mess it up.

Thanks in advance,
Iain

Intel HD 4000 Solution for Desktops


- In org.chameleon.boot.plist write the following things:


<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32</string>
(if your display not support this resolution, write your display best resolution)

<key>device-properties</key>
<string>7f0000000100000001000000730000000200000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04002c0000004100410050004c002c00690067002d0070006c006100740066006f0072006d002d006900640000000800000005006201140000006800640061002d0067006600780000000d0000006f6e626f6172642d31</string>

- In Multibeast, set the System Definition to iMac 12,2

With this solution, no distorted screen when booting and after booting. Only works with DVI.

Sorry for my bad English

The formula for working HD4000 in Mountain Lion is:
1. MultiBeast 5.0.2
1a. Graphics Enabler = Yes
1b. Chimera 1.11.1 or newer

Those selections are automatic with EasyBeast for a new installation.

Chimera takes care of the device_id and framebuffer.
Remove device property injection from Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist

Great tools, but unfortunately this doesn't work on B75M-D3P. The graphics is detected as HD2500, and the monitor spdisplays_display.

If I use an EFI-string I get HD4000 and my U2414M monitor in Safe mode, but white screen when booting regular:

Hi,

just did my first build on a GA-B75M-D3P with Core i5-3570K and 8GB of RAM.
Because I'm a complete newby, I did it strictly according to this http://tonymacx86.blogspot.de/2011/10/unibeast-install-mac-os-x-lion-using.html instruction.
Everything worked 'out-of-the-box' but I experienced the same Problem with a dizzy display after reboot (which could be fixed by unplugging / plugging).

The additional lines

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32</string>

in org.chameleon.boot.plist did the trick for me

Thanks
