Right from the installer i noticed the gfx kexts are dodgy, so dodgy it didn't even properly load the install screen. I think apple focused this DP on the latest specs their machines have, or they just forfeited mobiles users all together. I may give it another try later.

 

As for the resource consumption... i don't really mind an extra 1gb eaten, DDR3 is cheap these days, so that isn't much of a problem, but rather their lack of proper resource management when nothing is running (this was the case with ML, i've yet to see MV).

 

But yes, i feel your pain, OS X seems to have stagnated since Snow Leopard/Lion. I'm considering Ubuntu as my main OS now. Same goes for their iOS, latest versions just don't live up to user expectation.

Hey guys, i'll give Maverick a shot this afternoon, i'm curious if it's any good for our machines compared to ML. Personally, i find ML to be a bit unstable and slow compared to Lion, maybe Maverick is a step forward.

 

Also, the bloody manual brightness adjusting finally got to me, i've decided i'll try to write and app that uses the webcam as an ambient light sensor, maybe even turn off the screen when no face is detected (this is going to be a challenge). 

I'm out of ideas, it's difficult cu asses what may be wrong when i don't have the device in front of me. My only suggestion is to try and reinstall, the vanilla way, 10.8.0 or 10.8.1 on a spare partition if you have, so you don't mess up your working OS X for something that has no certainty. Or try some backup utility (Carbon Copy) if you have enough space.

Hmm, i'll look into the source code of the values injected by the bootloader. I'm thinking something isn't quite right for your system.

@Ben, i'm sorry, i don't have experience with UEFI. TimeWalker does however, see if he can help you... or ask in the clover thread.

Update:
Alright, adeebm, try this:  Chameleon-2.2svn-r2238_l502x_hd3000_116.pkg.zip   3.01MB   20 downloads after installing boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes

If you still don't have QE/CI then it's related to the kernel extensions. Check with Kext Wizard or System Information > Extensions if AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB and AppleIntelHD3000Graphics are loaded and are both the same version (mine are 8.0.0) also check for AGPM and IONDRVSupport.

Well, the kexts seem to be loading fine. There's some conflict somewhere. I'll assume it's from the efi string.

Try this:

• backup your current boot.plist
• remove the efi string
• install latest version of enoch http://www.insanelym.../file/71-enoch/
• in the customize section of enoch Settings > Video > check EnableDualLink=Yes and SkipNvidiaGfx=Yes just in case
• Install

See if it works.
