Ok, I started reading what EDID was... since none of the guides actually tell you what it is. And if I understand correctly doing EDID patch basically marries you to a specific monitor? Which would not work in my case since I am just setting up this Hackintosh on my main monitors but the plan is to run it through an HDMI switcher, which would not register as the same monitor...
I was initially using a 1440p monitor (but all I need is 1080p), so I pulled out another monitor (1080p one) and hooked up to it. Starting the process over, going through all of the different AAPL,ig-platform-id on the new monitor....
I got to this one:

And instead of the usual, boot text, then black screen, it actually got to login screen. But then after about 30 seconds the monitor turns off again, just like before... BUT, through VNC I can see that it got full HW acceleration...

So.. its close... it can clearly drive the monitor, since it sits on logon screen for like 30 seconds before going dark... how do I fix that?
EDIT: Went through the rest of them, this is the only one that detects HW acceleration. Its so weird. If I type in password fast, I can get to Desktop, even do some stuff, like open things, or check About This Mac... but like before about 30 seconds later... screen goes black.
