PC Requirements:
1. OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3+
2. 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics IGPU (Already integrated with 2010 Arrandale CPUs)
3. Internal LCD display uses the eDP connector
4. Intel HD Graphics CI ZIP file (Click on the appropriate image below to download)
Steps:
1. Open Finder and go to System/Library/Extensions. Inside the folder find these kexts:
AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext
AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext
AppleIntelHDGraphicsGA.plugin
AppleIntelHDGraphicsGLDriver.bundle
AppleIntelHDGraphicsVADriver.bundle
Delete all of these kexts from the Extensions folder. Rebuild cache and restart your computer.
2. Download the Intel HD Graphics CI ZIP file above if you haven't yet. Remember to choose the ZIP file that corresponds to your version of OS X. Extract the zip file. Inside the extracted zip file you should see this:
3. Install these kexts with Kext Utility or some other kext installer. Rebuild cache and restart your computer.
5. Open up System Preferences>Desktop & Screensaver>Screen Saver. Click on one of the slideshows. If you see the preview of the slideshow, Core Image is now enabled!
PC Requirements:
1. OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
2. 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics IGPU (Already integrated with 2010 Arrandale CPUs)
3. Internal LCD display uses the LVDS connector
4. Intel HD Graphics QE/CI ZIP file (Click on the appropriate image below to download.)
 If you prefer to patch your own framebuffer, you can do so now with Giofrida's Intel HD Graphics Patcher! The patcher can patch framebuffers from 10.8 to 10.9 (experimental). You can find it in InsanelyMac Downloads or by clicking here. For more information on how to use it, read about it in the Extras (Optional) section.
Steps:
1. Open Finder and go to your Extra folder. Open the org.Chameleon.Boot.plist with TextEdit. Add the following code:
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key><string>Yes</string>
2. Open Finder and go to System/Library/Extensions. Inside the folder find these kexts:
AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext
AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext
AppleIntelHDGraphicsGA.plugin
AppleIntelHDGraphicsGLDriver.bundle
AppleIntelHDGraphicsVADriver.bundle
Delete all of them from the Extensions folder. Rebuild cache and restart your computer.
2. Download the Intel HD Graphics QE/CI ZIP file above if you haven't yet. Remember to choose the ZIP file that corresponds to your version of OS X. Extract the zip file. Inside the extracted zip file you should see this:
If you notice, there is a folder called "Choose Framebuffer". In here, you will select a framebuffer to install that you feel is right for your computer. I have prepatched these for you so all you have to do is install it with the other Intel HD Graphics kexts.
*The screenshot shown here may be different from the one you see on your computer.
SingleLink: Choose a SingleLink framebuffer if your computer's native resolution is 1366x768 or lower.
DualLink: Choose a DualLink framebuffer if your computer's native resolution is higher than 1366x768.
Alternate: An alternative framebuffer has all the plist values set to zero. Some computers may need to use an alternate framebuffer if the computer freezes with the normal framebuffer.
Alternative 2: An alternate 2 framebuffer has all the plist values set to zero and a slightly modified IOPCIClassMatch code. Some computers may need to use an alternate framebuffer 2 if the computer freezes with the normal and alternative framebuffers.
LW (Link Width): Usually LW1 will work for most users but if you still see a distorted display, test out LW2-LW4 too see which one of these gives the best display quality.
Outputs: Currently the only outputs available are LCD (internal LCD display), VGA (external VGA display), and DP (external DisplayPort display). Some framebuffers will have a combination of two outputs (LCD+VGA and etc.)
 If for some reason your computer never boots to the desktop when trying all these framebuffers (spinning wheel spins forever in boot screen), then you may need to install Natit kext. This usually happens when the OS-Info from the framebuffer fails to inject itself. An alternate approach is to inject the OS-Info in the DSDT. More information in the Extras and Hacks section.
If you have tried all framebuffers and the computer continues to get stuck in a white screen, then you may have an eDP display and not an LVDS display. In some unfortunate circumstances, the LCD may not be transmitting its EDID to the framebuffer either. Other reasons could be that the LCD display is in fact a DualLink display and you are not using a DualLink framebuffer. More information in the FAQs section.
3. Install these kexts with Kext Utility or some other kext installer. Rebuild cache and restart your computer.
4. When you log into the desktop, you will see that your computer's native resolution is already working. You will also see a transparent menubar.
If you still want to confirm that you officially have QE/CI working, open DVD Player, click on the "Help" menu and click on "Show Supported Features".
1. Natit
Sometimes, if a computer does not have Natit installed, the framebuffer will make OS X not boot to the desktop. In other words, the spinning wheel will spin forever and you will be stuck in the boot screen forever. This usually happens when the OS-Info from the framebuffer fails to inject itself.
Natit will also add Intel HD Graphics information to your System Infomation>Graphics/Display section. This is useful for users that still have an "Unknown" graphics name in About This Mac and System Information. Click on the image below to download.
Install this kexts with Kext Utility or some other kext installer. Rebuild cache and restart your computer.
2. Native Resolution on Boot, Bootloader Screen, and Desktop using Chameleon
(Discovered by iWin32 and RemC)
The Intel HD Graphics framebuffer will automatically detect your computer's native resolution when you boot into the desktop. This is only useful if you want to have a native resolution on the bootloader screen and on boot using Chameleon.
Clover also achieves the same effect without the need of this module and patches the vBIOS automatically.
Please follow iWin32 and RemC's thread for their work and any questions you have regarding the Resolution.dylib module.
http://www.insanelym...6-and-00468086/
PC Requirements:
1. OS X Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
2. 2010 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics IGPU (Already integrated with 2010 Arrandale CPUs)
3. Chameleon Bootloader (Your version of Chameleon must support modules. You can use Chameleon Wizard to install the latest release.)
4. Resolution.dylib module (Download the attached Resolution Module ZIP file.)
Steps:
1. Open Finder and go to your Extra folder. Open the org.Chameleon.Boot.plist with TextEdit. Add the following code:
<key>Graphics Mode</key><string>1366x768x32</string> (EDIT THIS STRING TO YOUR NATIVE RESOLUTION)
2. In the Extra folder, create a folder called "Modules".
3. Download the attached Resolution Module ZIP file below if you haven't yet. Next extract the ZIP file and inside the folder there should be a "Resolution.dylib" file. Drag that file to the Modules folder you created in the Extra folder.
4. Restart your computer. When the Chameleon Bootloader shows up, the resolution you added in the org.Chameleon.Boot.plist should already start working. Continue to boot into OS X and the Apple boot screen will also be at that resolution.
3. Backlight and Brightness
(Discovered by mnorthern)
Please read and follow mnorthern's thread for his work as well as any questions regarding the backlight and brightness fix for Intel HD Graphics IGPU.

4. Improve Core Image Performance
(Discovered by voidRunner)
This applies to users that cannot enable Quartz Extreme. If you only have only Core Image working, you might be interested in improving its performance.
Please read and follow voidRunner's thread for his guide on how to improve the performance of Core Image as well as any questions regarding his guide.
http://www.insanelym...mebuffer-howto/
5. Power Management
This applies to users that use Chameleon Bootloader.
If you have enabled only Core Image or if you enabled Quartz Extreme with Core Image, it is important to have power management working correctly. If you don't then the computer will overheat and possibly turn off without warning.
Computers that have a 2010 1st Generation Intel Core i Series processor (Core i3, Core i5, Core i7) are able to natively use the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext without any problem.
