Monitor goes to sleep after boot sequence. (black screen)

So, here are my observations:

• I don't know whether you need ACPI/DSDT/DropOEM_DSM/NVidia enabled. If you're not sure yourself, try switching it to false.
• I would disable Devices/UseIntelHDMI, since your integrated graphics is already disabled.
• It looks like you're using the iMac17,1 system definition, which is known to have problems. Try getting things running with iMac14,2 first, then you've got a known working baseline to build on.
• It's probably not relevant overall, but for ease of testing and iteration, I'd set SystemParameters/NoCaches to false, and only enable it in Clover during startup as needed.

Okay, thanks!
I knew I messed something up (UseIntelHDMI)
Gonna test those settings now. See you in 10-15 minutes

@pvande One question, do boot flags appear in the file? Because I cannot find any when I saved my Clover Configurator config...

 

[pvande]

@tolekk They can, yes. In the case of your uploaded config file, there weren't any – they'd normally live under Boot/Arguments.

 

[tolekk]

So it looks like the boot flags aren't saving... weird. Is there any way to fix that?

 

[pvande]

You can always just add them in a text editor. Then again, if Clover Configurator isn't saving things properly, a) make sure you're writing to the correct file and b) consider starting a clean config file and porting over the changes you need.

 

[tolekk]

I'm pretty sure that CC saves them to the right file. I guess I'll have to add them manually.

 

[pvande]

CC can be used to edit and create any number of files; I wouldn't assume that it's just implicitly going to edit the "right" one.

Ok, I've added this code to my config.plist :

<key>Boot</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Arguments</key>
        <string>-v</string>
        <string>darkwake=0</string>
        <string>nvda_drv=1</string>
        <string>-no-zp</string>
    </dict>

Will it work?

(it won't)

 

[pvande]

Try this:

<key>Boot</key>
<dict>
    <key>Arguments</key>
    <string>-v darkwake=0 -no-zp</string>
</dict>

(nvda_drv=1 doesn't do anything under Sierra.)
