So, did you managed the HDMI Audio with HD3000?
And HD2000? Pretty Please....With sugar on top!!!
HD 2000 doesn't work. HDMI audio is still a work in progress. Stay tuned!

Just I think you want release the nem Chimera when you managed it. Great work! Good luck!
thanks tony, keep up the good work, ill keep waiting for news on the HD2000 for my i3-2100T.
Can't wait to be back home and test this on my i5-2405s!
Thanks a lot!
chameleon is already on svn 2.1
just giving a heads up.
thanks for all the hard work guys. I love my tonymac supported system
Any hope for hd2000 support in near future?
Well in MacMan and Tony !!!
Keep up the good work!
Does this version solve the Facetime issue with Lion?
Doesn't work for my system.
Graphics are messed up
Hopefully I can now boot into Lion on the VAIO i3, 2310 I've been working on
I just installed, Facetime still not working.
Is HD 3000 support limited to Lion or does it work with Snow Leopard too?
I get this:
Check cable connection!
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
wtf ??
In report to that: it seems my system tries to boot from a network, meaning it already passed trying to boot from hard drive.
Pressing 'boot options' on startup and selecting hard drive manually ends up in the same.
I'm getting partial working SB graphics on my i5-2500k here. My question, and idk if I'm just missing it, but where do we get the MacMini system definition as pictured above? I've tried editing my smbios, but I just end up with a "Mac" in the system. Can someone point me in the right direction?
so you say multiple connectors via smbios, what do you mean by multiple connectors?
@bb2g40
We're adding it to the next MultiBeast- due in a few days-for now the Macmini5,1 smbios is available here. I just linked it to the post above. :)
@Bkribbs
Multiple connectors meaning dual screens- DVI/HDMI or HDMI/HDMI or VGA/HDMI, etc...
@bb2g40
With SB I would go for MacbookPro8.1 ;)
My screen just goes black during boot. I have an Acer Aspire 5750 with Core i3 i3-2310m with an HD 3000. Before this version of Chimera, it would go all garbely and fail to boot. Now it just goes black. It gets to the DSMOS has arrived, then quickly a line about ACPI... Then black. It seems to just stop sending a signal. I tried it on the HDMI cable, where it sent HDMI out to my HDTV and left the laptop screen blank. Once it reached that point the TV reported 'No Signal'.
What'd I do wrong?
This Chimera is not working for me, or I'm missing something...
- Just used Windows dvd to regain a bootloader (because bootloader was completely missing)
- Booted to Snow Leopard drive with iBoot
- From there installed Chimera 1.5 on Lion
- Reboot without any disk/usb and I end up nicely in Windows, as if Chimera install did nothing at all...
Can someone post a dummy for chimera's ? =D I must be on this OSX for too long.
@tonymacx86
that's what I thought.
But my VGA doesn't work. Would that be something that has to do with my specific laptop, or something the boot loader would fix?
hello, chances are uqe mention the 12 models added a chimera? I can not see them anywhere. thanks
Sorry for my English
This release is based on Chameleon 2.0 source which is the official released version. The next release will be based on 2.1 source.
I will be posting the Chimera 1.5.0 source soon.
I'll post the supported cards on my blog when I document my changes.
I installed this to my Lion build (was using chameleon) and now I cant boot, the cursor just blinks.
IBoot doesn't work either.
Please advice in this thread: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=169&t=29994
Thanks
ok, thanks for your prompt response.
I'm new in this. What is the cabinet of the aggregates in Cahmeleon? or chimera?
I'm looking to buy a XFX 6670 or 6790. Are accepted?
Thanks!
I was looking for a fix to my via. This site is out of date http://www.tonymacx86.com/wiki/index.php/Graphics_Card_Database
@vascoFG
I'm now having the same problem as well. I'm thinking of just re-installing all because of all the dsdt edits and errors I've gotten in trying to enable HD3000.
Hopefully this will put me on the right path. Thanks again so much Tony!!!
I tried Chimera 1.5 on a GA-H67N-USB3-B3 with an i5-2405s with good results. There seems to be no anti-aliasing, though...
Check my install log if you're interested in this configuration: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=169&t=29990&p=189838
WORKS WITH LION ! (on virtualbox at least...)
I installed Chimera 1.5 and now I can't boot. I get ebios read errors.Ran verify disk from a different partition and receive numerous errors. Cleaned it up, rebooted to the Chimera partition same problem with block read errors and can't read ebios. Ran disk verify again with other partition and the disk was again dirty. Cleaned it up but still no boot.
Clean Lion install, Chimera (still) not working!
"No bootable device" again...
Installed, but no support for XFX 6670, does wonders on my friends XFX 5570...helped so he does not get the scrambled screen right before the desktop.
@vascoFG
Hackboot Lion from Maldon will boot Lion for you, it does take a while and is slow when booted upon: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=256729
I've installed chimera, Intel GPU works a little better, picture is a little bit sharper
When boot with HD6490 got KP

Thanks Tony!! works on my i7 2500K..some random artifacts at times..this is on a GA H67M D2 B3 1.0 F4.
@Karindaddy
thanks first, second not quite understand what you're saying that if they're 5570? I looked at the lion and is 6000.kext ID XFX6670 added accelerator! I do not understand!
Tony could add as accelerators to add?
Facetime registration issues fixed in this release?
No go on i7 2600k on Z68XP-UD3P 10.7.1 hdmi :(
It's fun:(on virtual machine) it boot a preinstalled lion hd, but doesnt boot the installer disk ! Or it does, but stops at a light gray screen with the "waiting" cursor...
hd3000 on 2630qm(hp pavilion dv7-6053er) - device id is 0116 - on boot it tells me unsupported card, and when i'm booted(10.6.8) - in about it shows intel hd 3000 with no kext loaded
@fede
I have a XFX 6670 and does not support it. I have to manually set framebuffer to Bulrushes and the down side is that I lose Dual DVI/VGA.
My friend has a XFX 5570 and after update he does not get crazy screen anymore.
Thanks...for followup
not working on i7 2600k and Z68X-UD3H-b3 motherboard
:problem: Is there ANY way to hide the extra drives information table on the left side of the selection screen in the new chimera 1.5 ???
I will like to know ... Some may find that extra info useful, I personally can do without it so IF there is any way to hide that (like boot flags I can put in the Boot.plist file etc) I will love to know.
thanks ... :)
0x0116 mobile HD 3000 doesn't work for me. (ThinkPad X121e)
Works with 1.4.1 chimera without any editing of kexts (MacPro8,1).
How to download? Safari and Opera are doin nothing ...?
FaceTime still not working with Lion :-(
Doesn't work for me either. I have the Gigabyte z68xp iSSD motherboard with a single HDMI interface for the desktop i5 2500K CPU.
After the legacy Apple logo in 10.6.8, the Apple logo disappears as if the frame buffer is reinitialising but the screen stays grey.
If I unplug and plug the HDMI, the screen stays black on insert.
A VNC session reveals my system profile just has an empty Display Connector: field with nothing relating to my monitor underneath.
AppleIntelHDGraphics and AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB are loaded and are unmodified as per the Chimera claim.
It's an improvement on previous attempts to modify the DSDT with the PCI vendor ID masking of the IGP and modify AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB with the real ID of the IGP but still not perfect.
It still fills like a connector issue regardless of the full Macmini5,1 smbios profile being used and the fact the Macmini5,1 has a single HDMI out back, similar to my system board.
So, any chance on zoning in on the HDMI port under Snow Leopard?
The above test was with a fresh Snow Leopard install and combo patch to 10.6.8.
Regards,
Tony.
Same motherboard, processor & OS as Tony @50 above.
Same visible problem / symptoms, although didn't VNC in to check details.

Does GraphicsEnabler Work on a nVidia Quadro NVS285 . It did work with nVinject on Leopard But now on Lion 10.7.1 chimera 1.4.1 it doesn't work. And plz use the new Chameleon 2.1 It the version of any new build ATM. And witch trunk / Build is this version build on?
Thx ;)
I think that the next iboot/multibeast, should be able to detect if its installing on the apple usb drive, the installer partition made with the downloaded lion, or a lion installation...
Hi,
the white screen problem seems to be a conflict with the appleintelhdgraphics.kext
if you delete this kext and reboot, no more white screen and you have full resolution, but i don't know if you have QECI enable, i haven't front row.
you can remake this white screen with a fresh installation of lion without using chimera 1.5 but the one include in multibeast if you inject the fake id 126 in the dsdt without adding your real id (112 for i5 2500K)in the appleintelsnbgraphicFB and the appleintelhdgraphics kexts

my screen is frozen, when I updated to 1.5.0.
but I can boot to safe mode without screen frozen, so I try to go back to the previous version chimera, screen frozen returned to normal. is it bug?
I got error message at the top left corner after booting countdown.
"Errors encountered while starting up the computer.
Pausing 5 seconds..."
but Snow Leopard starts up without issues and works fine except Fermi freeze.
What does this mean?
it use in intel hd2000? im try but no load the system
Tony,
After being unsuccessful with the non-dsdt method, a freezing white screen using chimera 1.5, and partial success (better resolution, but not full) in safe mode, I'm at a loss for what to do here. I've also tried dsdt inject, but that fails as well.
Asrock h67-itx
i5-2500k
The funny thing is, chess works for me, youtube doesn't, x264 videos do (albiet some tearing) and my resolution is stuck at 1024x768. Is this a motherboard problem? The main reason why I think it isn't is that I have another system with an asrock h67 board that works great with a gt9400 graphics card.
Any suggestions?
Piece of crap!
Broke my fully working system, and even with reinstalling everything back to how it was, i can't boot.
Weird!
Shows Unsupported Card! Before Apple spinning wheel, but never gets further. I removed Chimera 1.5 and reinstalled previous version, and Extra folder, but still no boot.
What is this shite?
No love for HD2000?
I'd give my first born son to get QE/QI working on it :D
For the ones who have the white screen or grey screen after the apple screen, if you boot with -x mode and then S\L\E ,copy Appleintelhdgraphics on the desktop, go to info.plist , modify one of the device id with your real id, install it with kext utility or another program,
then install the kext that tony modify when he has test the dsdt injection method (i tried the rimmi's one (10.7.1) or the original edited the info.plist and change one device id with my real id but no one works, only the tony modified one works for me)
reboot and it will work with full resolutiopn and QE/CI(HD video works)
so it seems that with some motherboard, chimera 1.5 doesn't succeed to inject the real id in those two kext.
i had to patch the AICPM.kext+dsdt edit to get speedstep. With the usual dsdt edits, i got a KP
Does people who have the white/grey screen issue , had the same problem with the AICPM kext?
Flaked explain that some operation are locked by some motherboard bios for AICPM, so maybe chimera 1.5 too.
What is you experience with chimera 1.5 graphicenabler?, i think that a feedback with the motherboard information could be helpfull
For me :
doesn't work = white grey screen
Processor: I5 2500K device id 112
Motherboard: ZOTAC H67
boumbo
Same error as oku812 :
http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=30067&start=0
...and with Chimera 1.5.1, I can have Graphics Enabler to Yes, and the HDGraphics kexts present in SLE without pain, but with no obvious HD3000 love...

no love for old GMA HD?
I successfully installed lion on my 1yr old experiment laptop with Intel GMA HD, is there any way to get it to display native 1366x768? any kexts to edit for it to work?
Does connection via DVI work? I only see mention of HDMI working in most comments but it says multiple connectors available in the blog post. I'm just going to be using an older 19" LCD for this computer which will be for the kids school use and don't want to have to purchase a new monitor just for the HDMI connection.
Not really working with GA-H67M-D2-B3 and I3-2105. When using Chimera 1.5 with Lion 10.7 or 10.7.1 and the originally IntelHDGraphics and IntelSNBGraphicsFB Kexts, I get still the "Transcript Offline - Buffer Pool Allocate" Error. The access via Remote Desktop is working well and showing the HD3000 Graphics as named above in the posting, but with ID0126 instead of 0112, which must be the right one for my I3-2105. But directly after the start of chimera 1.5 Bootloader the correct CPU and GPU ID (0112) is showing on the screen, but somehow the kexts will not correctly injected. With Lion 10.7 the information desk will only show a internal Intel GPU but not the correct Name (e.g. HD3000)
When using my modified Graphic-Kexts with ID 0102 (not 0112) and the Chimera 1.4.1, I can get into OSX and get Graphic running, but it seems without Q&E.The graphics looks very slow. How in Lion Q&E can be tested?

FaceTime not working, waiting fix.
Doesn't work for me. (2600k)
I get a spinning-for-ever wheel, and after a while half the screen get messed up.
me too i get half the screen get messed up. how to fix this?
Hey guys. Where should i add my intel hd3000 device id. I installed it and it hangs after the apple logo. Screen goes black nothing happens after that.
Hi everyone,
What about a brand new Dell Inspiron 15R Laptop?
It has hd3000 graphics. Will this work with the Built-In Display? I would buy one.
Thanks
just downloaded Chimera, and it says its version 1.5.2
so whats new in this version
A number of the people who are posting here are having problems. Is this due to hardware incompatibility? Is this more likely to work with a recommended build?
And it's a work in progress anyway ;)
i will give this a try
it would be better to launch Nvidia Optimus...Intel HD 3000 runs great without any fixes or patches, just dsdt extracted from windows...
Downloaded new Chimera 1.5.2, have installed it, facetime still doesn't work. Will keep on watching this space as to what happens.
Chimera-1.5.2 now installs and boots fine, does what it needs to do!
Still need this fix, but that's due to my components. Fix: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=28851
Thanks !
Starting the installer i still see the white screen and "wait" cursor...
Applied this fix yesterday to a Gigabyte GA-Z68-MA-D2H-B3 board with i2500K CPU and it works.... However, if only one display is connected, it must be the DVI connector. If only HDMI is connected then I don't get past the white screen during boot. Only DVI, and DVI+HDMI work fine.
Does Chimera already support Intel HD Graphics from the first generation i5 (430m, 520m, etc). I've been having trouble trying to get graphics acceleration for my i5-430m.
With hd 3000 there are always 512 MB in system information although the settings are different in the bios. And this on GA-H67-USB3 or GA-Z68-UD3H-B3 for example. Only first video connector works, HDMI on the first mentioned motherboard and DVI on the second. Errors with AppleHDA and AudioAUUC on Sandy Bridge and AudioAUUC. Even Transcript Offline - Buffer Pool Allocate [181000] failed and so on except this things are working.
Agree with above.
My BIOS is set to the max of 384MB for my amount of RAM (8GB).
But OSX always reports 512MB allocated to video.
Also, my Gigabyte Z68XP iSSD board has only one connector, the HDMI and it's not outputting anything with Chimera 1.5.3. I just get the light grey screen that was left behind once the legacy Apple logo disappeared.
Lion does not suit me as many of my apps are PPC based and for the most part Lion doesn't perform well on the older software even once tweaked like turning off local tm backup etc.
Please, please fix the HDMI connection of the Gigabyte iSSD board so Snow Leopard can use it.
Regards,
Tony.
I've read everything I can get my hands on over the past three days, and I still can't figure out if VGA only is supported - or not - on an HD3000 GPU with Chimera 1.5. Several comments above seem to indicate that a VGA monitor is supported only in dual-monitor mode.
True, or not? Any chance this will be fixed, or (since I have only a VGA monitor) should I order a separate graphics card and give up on HD3000?
Thanks!
LeapFrog
Still no go on HD3000 id 116 and AMD Radeon 6630M.
Come on for ffs!!!
Works perfectly. Did a clean Lion 10.7.1 install from USB, installed DSDT and network using MultiBeast and then installed Chimera 1.5.3. Got HD3000 to work, but only on my DVI, HDMI freezes up during boot...
Got a H67MA-UD2H-B3 with i5-2500K.
Thanks!

Any change we have a Chimera that makes the IntelHD (8086:0044 & 8086:0046) work?
...waiting for the new iBoot................
Is there a changelog for 1.5.x, x, x?
Thanks
Hi Tonymacx86,
Please, include this device ID: 1002 - 68BA
(Gigabyte GV-R677SL-1GD/Radeon 6770/Juniper)
Thanks,
Marius :-)
Works on NO sandy Bridge?
Core i3 380M? Intel Graphics HD?
sorry my english! brazilian, please.
Fix so that internal laptop display with HD3000 id 116 works!
I'm so sick of having to reinstall now!
MacManx86-
NB: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs-13inch.html
Graphics and video support: Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory
So basically all the SandyBridge Silicon all comes out the same, they just laser etch (deactivation) hunks of GPU and CPU for lesser models,
The primary difference between Intel® HD Graphics 2000 and Intel® HD Graphics 3000 is the number of execution units contained in the processor. Intel HD Graphics 2000 contains six execution units and Intel HD Graphics 3000 contains twelve execution units.

then why doesn't hd 2000 work?
Can someone help, I have an 2500K HD300 using a Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 motherboard, it has only hdmi connection. I get full resolution if I delete AppleIntelHDGraphics but no QE/CI or if it's there I have QE/CI but the system is so slow that it's unusable. Does anyone know a fix to make QE/CI work and it be fast? I'm using the macpro8,1 profile.
hi using hm65 chipset, on a i5 sandy bridge, chimera 1.5.4 detect " graphics card " Intel HD 300 but i cannot get the resolution.
Please help
From my experience when i had 4GB of memory in my system. System Profiler was displaying 384 MB although i had a different value set in BIOS. Once i upgraded my memory to 12GB, system profiler displayed 512 MB of memory.
Also i have build with 2500k and i had to modify the kexts that are mentioned in previous posts to add 112 id in the kexts.
Other people having problems with this remove your pci express cards when booting with the new version of chimera. I used chimera 1.5.3.
For 64 bit i had to set kernal flag x86_64 in com.apple.Boot.plist at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and also execute command in terminal
nvram boot-args="arch=x86_64".
I hope this helps.
I've ran this and I got a full resolution image on both DVI and HDMI ports when using a Macmini definitions. However QE/CI is not present (no ripples in dashboard).
any ideas?
I'm having the exact same problem as jim_bob using GA-Z68XP mobo and 2500k. I'm using the MacMini5,1 smbios but the system is incredibly slow at the login screen. The motherboard only has one HDMI output so I can't switch to another display output.
Help!
Could anyone please share a MacBook Pro plist? I am trying to get SL or Lion to work on a ThinkPad W520 with Intel HD 3000 gfx. It has NVIDIA Optimus with an NVIDIA Quadro 2000M, but don't think it's supported quite yet.
Works with fresh Lion install:
i7 2600k
GA Z68MA-D2H-B3
Bios F8, installed with DSDT
Please post any LAPTOPS that you get to work with the new graphics. I need an upgrade. Thanks.
I've been trying my Samsung series 9 laptop which has a has an i380. I've been using profile 8,3 I believe. No luck so far :-(
Macman , thank you so much, this chimera boot loader is POWERFUL, it can make my ATI HD4350 and NVIDIA cards running even there are "Unsupported Card" shown when boot while i'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8. This Chimera also make it run on MacOSX Lion 10.7-10.7.2 smoothly. i never success using Chameleon, even it's official build or unofficial build so far. is it possible for you to give tutorial to recompile iBoot with chimera to be able to install Retail Snow Leopard 10.6? because when i try iBoot latest , and try clean install with my Ati or Nvidia it will stuck after screen go up and blank only mouse rolling , no menu installation shows up.
Hi all,
MacMan impossible for me boot (KP) with Chimera 1.5.4 and 1.6.
I have a laptop HP DV7 6090ef with in Intel i7/AMD Radeon HD 6770M - Intel HD3000.
Only boot with chaméléon rc1494,problem i don't have native resolution 1600*900*32 impossible for me disable one card graphics because i don't have option in bios.
how I can make it work 2 cards graphics same time and resolution 1600*900*32.
Thanks advance for help.
Samsung RF411 Intel HD 3000 works perfectly, although it is a Nvidia Optimus laptop that has a discrete GT 525M card. When booting up into the UniBeast Lion installer, I had full native resolution. Also had full native resolution at 1366x768 in Lion 10.7.2 (after Software Update). Just had to include GraphicsEnabler=Yes in com.apple.boot.plist. But otherwise, no problem. This is one perfect HD 3000 laptop. Acceleration is perfect. I can even play Minecraft at max settings at above 60 FPS.
i can't log in lion after chimer 1.7 was installed
i'm using aspire 5742
on lion login windows i can't tape my pass
keyboard and mouse don't work ...the usb either
Thanks very much.Hackintosh ok!.update to 10.6.7 ok!. on Dell E5520.I have a question? I can update to the v10.6.8 and not Fail?
Hackintosh is awesome! But i hve problem with my laptop, intel hd 2000. I'm waiting for hd 2000. Please hurry up!
HD 3000.
I've got problem with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, when turn on, i've got proper resolution but system is extremly slow and unresponsive, only mouse cursor works smoothly. I've got HDMI(board) to DVI(monitor) connection cable. And cannot connect other way. I use MBP 8.1 or Macmini. Everything else goes smoothly. Anybody knows a solution? already above 20 reinstalls:(
and this is my last quest.
This doesn't seem to work for me either. Running Lion on a Gigabyte SKT-1155 Z68MA-D2H-B with an Intel i3 2105. I only get 1024 x 768 and no QE/CI. Do I need to modify org.Chameleon.Boot.plist manually at all?
