beta992 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I always had problems with Safari on nVidia GPU's. Safari uses some HW-acceleration and I'm getting weird console messages on some pages (Google Maps, etc.). After switching to Chrome most problems are gone. To be sure the drivers are loaded, you will have to use a NVRAM-module. What do you mean with no longer pref. load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be sure the drivers are loaded, you will have to use a NVRAM-module. What do you mean with no longer pref. load? Preference Pane. Its was there originally on the top Apple Bar. Allows you to switch back and forth from OSX to Nvidia Web Drivers. I don't really care about that though. I have seen that nvram-module in the extra folder and had no idea what that was used for? Do I need to modify the Org.chamleon.boot.plist any more than adding "nvda_drv=1" to enable this module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Modules go in /Extra/Modules, not /Extra. When the nvram module is loaded, you don't have to do anything else, just enable the nvidia web driver through the preference pane and restart.

Do I need to modify the Org.chamleon.boot.plist any more than adding "nvda_drv=1" to enable this module? Surprisingly, no. I merely added the module when doing an update install of the latest Chameleon - the installer added nvda_drv=1 itself as a default switch. Result - the Web driver loads on boot (which wasn't the case before); amusingly, this is the least painful driver change I've had to do (not merely in OS X, but the Windows side was shockingly painless as well).

It seems the latest version of Chameleon automatically Installs the module and nvram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacktrix2006 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 i have patched the installer so SMBIOS change is needed if anyone wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AREOS Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 For Mavericks will be available another driver pack upon GM release! Yeahh I think we will see the introduction of the new 320.XX.XX drivers on Mavericks GM since on the windows world there are 326 beta drivers already. I hope some good news for us Fermi users. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
