ok now i got issue every time i load into OS X and go to nvidia control panel and its OS X Default selected but NVDAStartup: Web is loaded?

 

its saying web is loaded but OS X is selected in control panel? 

 

bump.

 

so guys why would i be getting conficting reports where system saids its loaded the Web driver where nvidia control panel is set on OSX Driver?

 

when i select web driver in control panel it doesn't need to restart which makes me think web driver is loaded but control panel is giving display glitch

For 14E33b Apple have changed nvdastartup? The trick no longer works....

 

Just reinstall webdrivers from post #435. Edit NVDAStartup.kext like before and change 14D136 to this :

 

<key>NVDARequiredOS</key>

<string>14E</string>

 

Rebuild Kernel cache and reboot. Web drivers will be loaded :D !

Doesn't work, even with the 10.10.4 beta driver. Please don't recommend things unless you've actually tried them.

Actually, I do tried this because that's how I fix the problem and it does work !

 

Don't you see the screenshots ? Want more ? No problem here you are.

I could even make a video but I have no time for this and if you don't believe me, well that's too bad. Maybe you should give a try and see by yourself if I'm really wrong before giving me your "advice" or calling me a liar :angry:

That would mean that it works on the 10.10.3 driver and not the 10.10.4 driver, which is {censored} bizarre. Sorry. I hadn't even considered that the older drivers would work.

No

 

Actually this means one thing and it's no surprise : Apple's NVDAStartup stock kext is not the same as Nvidia webdrivers's NVDAStartup kext.

 

So until you install them, there's no chance they'll be enabled :P. And since OS X 10.10.4 14DE33b overwrite them, you have to reinstall them, that's simple as that.

 

I've just installed the official 10.10.4 beta WebDriver-346.01.03b01 and they works fine ! And you know what ? There's no need to edit NVDAStartup.kext at all, they're just "14E" ready !

I'm hoping someone smarter than me can give me some help. 

 

I've recently purchased an Nvidia 970 FTW. Anytime I upgrade the OS (to a beta) with it installed, I get to the boot screen, but it hangs. 

-v flag reveals the "deadbeef" error..and I can't get past it in any way. The only resolution is putting in my old 660, which always allows me to full boot and reinstall the Nvidia beta drivers...after which I can put the 970 back in with no issues.

 

Thoughts? I'm probably overlooking something really simple. Thanks in advance.

Add nvda_drv=1 in your arguments (use Clover Configurator or TextWrangler).

 

Make sure that webdrivers matches OS X version (see post #1) and rebuild permissions + kextcache with Kext Wizard.

 

Then check in verbose mode that NVDAStartup shows : Web instead of Official.

 

You can eventually do the edit NVDAStartup.kext trick in case of webdrivers complains that they're not compatible. See post #399 for the method.

 

You may also have to disable Intel HD Graphics in Bios if needed.

did you boot in Safe mode (-x) when using nv_disable=1 ? That was what I needed to do to get a working 10.10.4 (had to switch over to my iGP, boot in serfdom with nv_disable=1, install web drivers, swap bios to default to my GTX 970, and then reboot, and OS X 10.10.4 booted fine)

See my post #470 ?

 

I see no nvda_drv=1 in your boot-args :blink: ! Maybe it's in your nvram.plist at the root of your HDD but I would add it anyway, just to be sure…

it's weird. I have no idea what changed..and little time to trouble shoot these days..but w/o that arg. there were no problems w/any updates (via clover) ever. and then the last beta..something changed. Now, even updating to 10.4 final (and using that arg) caused me to have to boot via clover USB, reinstall nvidia web drivers, then reboot, etc. etc. Kind of a pain in the ass...but. whatever, at least I figured out a work-around. 

 

I'll just patiently wait until there is proper Maxwell support.
