Various things happened, and I upgraded to 10.8.3 and brought my second monitor up at about the same time.
Normally I edit my ATI5000Controller.kext to have my framebuffer layout in the Hoolock address, which I did as usual. However, something about 10.8.3 would cause my system to hang when booting.
Plus I wanted to use my second monitor, and I've had a longstanding problem getting multimonitor to work with my 5770 since I purchased a POS Korean 2560x1440 IPS monitor. Adding another monitor on DP causes both to be garbled, but I think the problem is mostly the Korean monitor. The electronics are bad, the darn thing arcs when you plug in the DVI cable, and I doubt it conforms to spec, so I still feel relatively good about my kext edits.
Long story short, I got HD4000 and the 5770 both working; the high-res display is on the 5770 and the old 1920 is on the integrated. Here's what I did:
I'm not sure why GE=Yes would make the system hang, but I'm glad it isn't necessary to have full working graphics with my setup.

- edit my kext as usual, except I put the device ID in that plist... I forget which one. I don't think this mattered.
- Set GraphicsEnabler to NO!
- Inject device info for the HD4000 by pasting the code from that other post into my boot.plist. It was the one with a 6 that ends in 9.
- Set VRAM to 64MB in BIOS (EFI)
- Set AtiConfig to Hoolock, so it uses that framebuffer
- Drag the little white bar over to the desired primary display in the pref pane.
