You mean only D-ports work, not DVI?
I have EVGA gtx 980 and my HDMI and DVI ports DO NOT work. I don't have a DP cable to test the 4 ports that are left, so im stuck with the black screen.

No, DVI works. HDMI doesn't. Haven't got the cables to test DP.

I don't really care for iMassage since I have no friends who use it. We just use Whatsapp or Telegram so that's the fix for me Also I don't like the why clover works since I would need to learn the new method!

Dear bomerr,

I've experience with Chimera / chameleon.

After the configuration of Clover the relevant boot flags are similar under Clover as Chameleon?

Nv_diable , DSDT = null, -x , -v .... ?


imessage : I saw imessage tweaks in Clover configurator. That's enough and done, or there are any further nvram or other tweak to be done with imessage?


THX.

I know you said, you don't care about iMessage. but im going to give you the iSolution anyways

Delete all Ethernet connections from the networking list, then go to "/library/preferences/systemconfiguration/" and delete "networkinterfaces.plist" reboot, add the one ethernet your using, back, you will now be able to use iMessage and the App Store

Since your method is a simple one it will be worth trying. I will try it when I get around to using OS X on my main system since I have a secondary rig for OS X now.

I would love to know this as well since I'm considering a 980 vs a Titan X (or waiting for the 980 updates) right now!

Thanks!
