    Black screen after kext update

    Are you sure you're running 14.2 system definition? Sounds like the AGDP black screen problem. If you boot with nv_disable=1 do you make it to the desktop?

    Apple security update 2017-001 changes build number disabling nvidia driver - Driver updated!

    This is exactly why I came here. Thanks for the heads up. I'll wait for Nvidia. Already updated my root PW.

    Parallels graphic distortion

    Brought in a 6GB GTX 1060 today. Same thing. I did have the OpenGL monitor running while it happened and captured a pretty large spike in VRAM usage.

    Parallels graphic distortion

    Parallels tools is current and I'm not injecting. Zero graphics problems on the Mac side. Just parallels. Seems to disappear when I turn off 3D acceleration but then my CPU usage spikes. Any chance the 1GB VRAM of this card is a limiting factor? My VM is used primarily for surveillance...

    Parallels graphic distortion

    Purely in parallels and it's the entire parallels space. Looks like old school scrambled analog cable. Zero graphic glitches on the mac side.

    Parallels graphic distortion

    Running latest Sierra. Everything works 100% perfectly except occasionally I'll get sudden and heavy graphics distortion when running parallels. The screen will suddenly badly tear making it completely unreadable. When this happens the entire system slows to a crawl until I can kill parallels...

    [Guide] Sierra 10.12.2 on the AsRock Z170 Pro4

    I've tried a few times with this board. I can never make it to the install screen. Clover boots fine and it makes it to the grey background but gets stuck with the beachball at that point. Let it sit overnight once as well. No luck.

    DSDT kills dual display

    On 10.7.2 currently. I seem to have everything working (sleep, network, sound, etc.) except I have an annoying issue with my display that is likely easy to fix. With no custom DSDT installed I get dual displays working on my Sapphire 6870 no problem but no sound. With the DSDT I get perfect...

    Re: ALC889 AppleHDA.kext (10.7.1 Lion) GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 F8 works perfectly. Using the DSDT in the database and the V2 version. Can finally use my headphone jack. Thanks!

    100% working.... and now I hate it **TLDR warning**

    I assume there is a "back" swipe gesture with the trackpad? Or is there a compatible mouse with a "back" button. I'm used to using that button in everything. Backing up folder in explorer, going back in web browsers, etc...

    100% working.... and now I hate it **TLDR warning**

    You are right in that I certainly don't *need* a new OS. One doesn't need to grow flowers or collect stamps or build birdhouses either. It's something to tinker with. I suppose my post did sound like I was going to cry if it didn't work out which certainly isn't the case. Just want to give it a...

    100% working.... and now I hate it **TLDR warning**

    TLDR version: I had fun building but hate OSX and I'm not totally sure why. Would a proper keybaord and mouse/trackpad help? Any non apple suggestions? I MISS THE BACK BUTTON ON MY MOUSE :cry: Is the magic trackpad worth it? Are the gestures a "must have" in OSX? Is there a mouse with a...
