Alright I figured I would post this here and let you all know that Thunderbolt Display works as well as all the features of the display. Just like other Thunderbolt devices if you hot swap it, the display WILL turn back on but all the features stop working.
I didn't really do anything special to get it to work, plugged into the Mobo and while booting keep hitting DEL the first time to get the Mobo to realize to display video over the TB port. After that first time it will just display on that port until you make a change.
The only thing I have run into is after I enabled HD4000 on the SECOND reboot when it booted for some reason Mac OS tries to set it to a resolution out of the displays range. So I was having to unplug and replug causing all the features to stop working. To get around that I just hard set the resolution in the Extra boot plist with this code.
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>2560x1440x32</string>
After that it works great and even looks good booting up.
If you hard set the resolution DO NOT change the resolution once booted. When I did that it set it and the OS remembered that setting and it wouldn't go back to the optimal resolution. I had to change the TB port for it to get back.
I will be posting a user build soon with all my stuff as I have gotten EVERYTHING working perfectly.
