Thanks, this fixed it for me as well!

Same here, AGDPfix.v1.3.zip fixed it on my 5960x system with GeForce 980. Thanks so much!
 
Hi guy, I made the security update and I understood that I have to install the NVIDIA Alternate Graphics Drivers for OS X 10.11.6 (15G1004). The problem is that I can not able to boot any more also with ndva_drv=0 and nv_disable=1 as boot flags.
I tried to install the .pkg driver in single user mode but it says: Error trying to locate volume at /.
Any suggestions?

Security Update 2016-001 changes the build of Mac OS X 10.11.6 to 15G1004. NVIDIA Web Driver 346.03.15f02 is not compatible to this build.

Use the NVIDIA Driver Manager system extension to check for updates. NVIDIA Web Driver 346.03.15f03 is available. If this fails for any reason you can still fall back to the old methods of fixing this situation.

Old Method 1: Get the beta driver 346.03.15b01.
Old Method 2: Edit the info.plist to reflect your current build version as described on ******.

thank you for the heads up. I update the the drive to the older 01. Then the update. Worked like a champ. Then updated to ver 03 driver when it was ready.
 
Hello,

I have a TitanX and it doesn't work. I try with the 01, 02 and 03. Still not working. Do you have a clue?
My motherboard is a Z170 UD5 TH gigabyteif it's help..

Thanks a lot!
 
Hi Guys.

Solution for in my case. I am OK.

Problem 4: Monitor goes to sleep at the end of the boot sequence when using iMac15,1 or iMac17,1 or MacPro 6,1 system definition

Open Terminal
Enter this command (it is one line)

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

Arrow down to where you see <key>ConfigMap</key>
For the iMac15,1 locate the board-id "Mac-42FD25EABCABB274" and change string below it from "Config2" to "none". For the MacPro6,1 you will do the same thing but for the board-id "Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6". For the iMac17,1 you'll have to see which board-id is declared in your config.plist SMBIOS: "Mac-B809C3757DA9BB8D" or "Mac-65CE76090165799A" or "Mac-DB15BD556843C820" and change the appropriate entry to "none".
Save the file by pressing Ctrl+O, then enter.
Exit by pressing Ctrl+X


My case is replace all "Config2" to "none" under <key>ConfigMap</key>
Next is my case setting.

Rebuild the kernel cache using the following two commands in terminal:

$ sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
$ sudo kextcache -system-caches



Reboot

NOTE: you may need to use kext-dev-mode=1 if not already using it to allow the modified kext.

And.
I use NVIDIA Web Driver 346.03.15f03 <= It is not problem.

I'm getting hard kernel panic crashes now (just started last night with one isolated crash, now can't run any gpu-intensive app w/o a kernel panic). See posting in General Help which I guess should be moved to this thread... I have tried every driver from 15b01 forward to 15f03 (after applying Apple El Cap upgrade). Nothing helps. Any ideas? Or has my GTX970 died?

This worked perfectly for me, iMac17,1 definition, driver 346.03.15f03. Also fixed a problem I was having when booting with two screens plugged in. Now it boots with both plugged in.

Thank you!!
 
Thanks!
Old Method 1: Get the beta driver 346.03.15b01. Solve my problem
