Sandy Bridge HD 3000 [Can reach desktop - but NO QE/CI]

Yup, works perfectly with a fresh install and second (or fifth, really -___-) retry

I have to agree with the post above, got it working but not the first time. My biggest problem was that the 10.6.8 update always crashed towards the end, if i hadn't already swapped the boot file i was left with a non-bootable system(even with iboot). If i had remembered to swap the boot file then after a couple of reboots the system would boot but had a constant finder not loaded error, at which point i was able to re-run the update from the terminal and all was good.

Thank you so much for the boot file, i finaly get a decent resolution from my hd3000

Does this not work with HD 2000? I tried it and end up with a blank/black screen. Basically, I boot the system and get the Apple load screen and when it should take nme to the desktop, it goes black.

If anyone need a better way without replacing the boot add this to your com.apple.boot.plist instead replacing the boot file.

<key>device-properties</key>
<string>600000000100000001000000540000000100000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04001e00

10070000</string>

This way can work with Chimera as well as Chameleon. And you don't have to worry about changing boot file. I am not going to update the opening post yet.

I'm still in struggle town.
Things I'd like to know is what options do you have set in your BIOS ie did you load optimised defaults. Next question is: throughout the install process what flags did you use, and do you use any flags to boot to desktop now? Did you encounter any KPs or issues with installing MultiBeast System Utilities(My multibeast throws an error if I try System Utilities)

I've gone from:
DMOS starting and then horrible vertical coloured tearing through the console boot output
to now:
DMOS starts then all goes grey with what appears to be the top toolbar flickering and tearing

And I only got to that screen after doing this:

Edit Device Properties in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist to include the following

<key>device-properties</key>
<string>600000000100000001000000540000000100000002010c00d041030a000000000101060000027fff04001e00

Chimera 1.5.x supports the HD2000 but Apple doesn't provide any drivers for it.
