NVIDIA Releases Alternate Graphics Drivers for macOS High Sierra 10.13.0 (378.10.10.10.15)

fgxr8 · Oct 2, 2017

have followed storks 2nd post however im still getting a black screen
using blind login (my passowrd is 1 letter i can tell it is getting to the HS desktop)
another sign is the hdd led activity goes on and the 1080 ti fan ramps up once I enter the password and press enter.

can anyone see an obvious error with my config plist
see attached:

edit managed to get it working
I used emuvariable and rc scripts on volume
and used the latest lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext (older versions gave me boot loops)

Here's what I did for a clean install for my system at left in my signature.

The key for me was to remove the graphics card, configure the system, then re-install the graphics card.

Removed graphics card. Set BIOS to integrated graphics (IGPU) and connect only IGPU HDMI to one monitor.
Clean install of High Sierra via USB stick. When on Desktop, mounted EFI and deleted old EFI contents. Installed Clover 4223 on SSD.
Copy config.plist from Sierra to EFI. Use Clover configurator to change CsrActiveConfig to 0x0 and save to enable SIP.
Reboot.
Make sure that the Security and Privacy System Preference pane General tab setting for "Allow apps downloaded from:" is set to "App Store and identified developers"
Install Nvidia drivers. During the installation, a window with a message like "The [...] kext is not signed and, in the Security and Privacy System Preference pane, you can approve its installation" (or something like that). Approve the change in Security Prefs Pane
Use Clover configurator to change CsrActiveConfig to 0x67 and save to disable SIP.
Reboot and change BIOS to PCIEx1 for initial display device or whichever PCIE slot your graphics card is in.
Shutdown. Disconnect HDMI cable from IGPU, Install Graphics card and plug in monitor(s) to Display port(s).
Install Audio via toleda's script. If you get No audio detected, may have to Clear CMOS and reset BIOS settings.
I did NOT have to set NvidiaWeb to True in config.plist.

Hope this helps.

You can use 0x3FF which sets all known bits and spare for future additions. Or use 0x2EF. Or hit 'o' at boot menu, system parameters, system integrity protection.
if the drivers were installed previously you won't get the prompt they are automatically allowed

Firstly, thank you.

Second, is this a permanent setting or simply for the driver install? If I have them installed in 10.12.6 then what's the best route in your HO?

Thanks again.

The behaviour of the boot loader is now to do nothing if the value is not set, nvram/plist value will be used in that case if it is present.

I do. I selected it during the installation. Should I be manually adding it somewhere too?

no, if you installed it it should be there.

I would uninstall the old web drivers manually + any old versions of Lilu / Fixup.

If you had black screen because of your MacModel number in 10.12, apply whatever method you used with success to solve it, otherwise don't install Fixup or patch AGDP.

Disable SIP altogether >= 0x2EF and install the web drivers. When the install completes ignoring any strange errors don't restart when prompted, run these in terminal first.

Code:

sudo touch /Library/Extensions /System/Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -u /

You win the internets. I've been trying to get this working since Wednesday. I just did all of the above, after updating Clover to 4233, and moved Shiki out of EFI/kexts/other to add braces to the belt, and it worked like a charm. Thank you!

Okay, so I followed Stork's post#2 to the letter and got stuck in the,

Code:

gIOScreenLockState 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 8, sm 0x0

.

With SIP set to 0x3. Changing it back to 0x0 fixed everything and it booted fine. After that first boot I was able to change it back to 0x3 and everything worked as expected.

BUT, now that I was feeling cocky I decided to try and get audio back up so I tried toleda’s script that was also posted in stork’s post #2. It did not go well, log below.

Now my machine won’t boot and I’m out of ideas on how to get back. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

ok. after getting the Nvidia drivers loaded

set sip/csr to 0x2EF

then reboot and run the audio script
but type this before you reboot

sudo touch /Library/Extensions /System/Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -u /

see my thread here, I have a pretty similar setup to you

Thanks for the reply! Any ideas on how to get this thing to boot again?
