vusun123 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Keep the Nvidia kexts so that you can try ( but I doubted it, Apple recently has been killing Mobility Nvidia Graphics, 10.9.2 is your friend here. And I got info that Yosemite Public Beta brings Mobility Nvidia support back ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300003-toshiba-satellite-p850-3d-version-no-optimus/#findComment-2054195 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can you give some more information about "Yosemite Public Beta that brings the Mobility Nvidia support back"? e.g. the news site perhaps?

vusun123 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I got a friend who got a ASUS K43SJ with Nvidia Geforce GT520M, it works on 10.9.1 and below, updating to 10.9.2 and above and he got a black screen. But as for Yosemite, he also reported that it works without any issues Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300003-toshiba-satellite-p850-3d-version-no-optimus/#findComment-2055504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as for Yosemite, he also reported that it works without any issues Well, according to http://www.driverscape.com/manufacturers/asus/laptops-desktops/k43sj/3503, the laptop doesn't seem to use Optimus technology, but the laptop's graphic card is a Fermi series graphic card. In my case, which my graphic card is a Kepler one, doesn't seem to work with 10.9 (using Niresh distribution). But maybe I will try to install 10.10 Beta to see if the drivers work for Kepler mobile graphics.

davidhs Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 I have tried to download and install the OSX 10.10 Public Beta 1 using MacPwn method, and my nvidia graphic card still doesn't work on the OSX... Btw, is there any relation to being the VGA BIOS not loaded on OSX? P.S. : I installed the OSX on a USB hard drive, and tried to run on my PC, and the graphic card worked (using GraphicsEnabler, my graphics card is ASUS GTX560 (non-TI version)), but when I boot into my laptop, it stuck at "NVDAGK100Hal Loaded" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300003-toshiba-satellite-p850-3d-version-no-optimus/#findComment-2059058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always use the clean vanilla method. Your GTX 560 is fine ( I have a friend who has GTX 580, it works in 10.9.4 and 10.10 ) As for your laptop, try using Clover, not injecting Nvidia, see if it works ( you might want to add dart=0 to the bootflag, otherwise disable VT-d in your bios ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/300003-toshiba-satellite-p850-3d-version-no-optimus/#findComment-2061548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
