New Method for Enabling NVIDIA Web Drivers in Clover

[3nigm4]

My graphics work, so I'm just curious, where is this plist located? Is it in a kext if so which one??

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/Info.plist

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Would one need to make these changes every time the OS is updated?
Example:
10.12.0 - 10.12.1, and so forth...

I asked this because I will be doing a new build at some point before the year is over, so I want to keep this resolution in mind.

Yes; if you need to modify that kext, you also need to redo that on every update, at the moment

Thank you! Fixed my issue

Hey. I was having difficulty getting the web drivers to kick in (black screen half way through boot).

I was running with the 12,1 sys definition. Updated to 13,2, no worries. No other plist editing or patches. no boot flags except to enable web driver.

750ti, z68x ud5 b3, 2500k, legacy bios, clover install, usb boot.

Worked for me

Just for information; the problem is that nVidia drivers looks in AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy info.plist for a matching board-id and only the following are listed there:

It shouldn't matter that I have an iMac 14,2 system definition but kept my old Mac Pro 3,1 stuff to keep iMessage working?

Because for the life of me I can't get these drivers to load again after updating Clover and that's the only thing I can think of. It boots fine, but there's no graphics acceleration.

Edit: I've uploaded my config.plist located in my EFI partition (/EFI/EFI/Clover/config.plist. Am I missing something obvious?

Also, I should add that I am still on El Cap...I wanted to iron out any Clover issues before updating.

If this method only works for Sierra I will facepalm...

To everyone who can't get web drivers working and you're 100% sure you edited your config.plist properly, double check you don't still have nv_disable=1 somewhere. This setting overrides the NvidiaWeb key.

THANK YOU, SO MUCH, bonfilio124!!! After numerous tries with all the other proposed solutions, this did the trick for me. [whew]

I installed the package but rebooted before updating the plist. It boots to a black screen now. What do?

You have no SMBIOS defined in your config, this means that previous Clover defaults to MacPro3,1. But the latest versions from 3769 defaults to iMac13,2
