how and where exactly do you add this patch?

Copy that whole line, all characters as is, into a Terminal to apply the patch.

Is there a way to undo this patch if I need to? If so, how could that be done?

Thanks

Done. You're brilliant kawa, thank you.

Re: the original thread, on my system the Nvidia driver software prompts a restart when switching from web driver to OSX driver, but not the reverse, when switching from OSX driver to web driver. Do you know why this would be? Should I do a restart anyway? Thanks vm.

Looks like the 10.8.4 update correctly identifies my GTX 650 Ti Boost.. nice!

It had shown after Uptate to OS X 10.8.4: Incompatible with OS X 10.8.4

Finally work on 10.8.3 with P67 Sabertooth + i7 2600K + GTX 770 (cuda driver 5.0.59 formely installed) with macPro5,1 flag option enabled in multibeast (change again to iMac afterward).
The addition of the boot flag in Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist,
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>darkwake=0 nvda_drv=1</string>
make possible to choose the web driver in the tool bar menu shorcut (choice darken in Nvidia Preferences panel).

No big deal in extra perf, run heaven benchmark :
- vanilla 10.8.3 : avg 81.7 min 38.1 max 168.1
- Nvidia web : avg 81.3 min 42.4 max 170.6
but the video card is now recognized as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2047 MB!

Download: http://us.download.nvidia.com/Mac/Quadro_Certified/313.01.01f03/WebDriver-313.01.01f03.pkg
(With .pkg instead of .dmg- I sure hope they fix that little bug.)

Installer only works with MacPro3,1 MacPro4,1 and MacPro5,1.

Troubleshooting Update:
In order to flag the alternate drivers on a CustoMac, you must add the flag manually to the chameleon.org.Boot.plist. For Chimera bootloader:

1. Open Finder
2. Navigate to /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist
3. Open in TextEdit
4. Add nvda_drv=1 to Kernel Flags as shown:

Example Usage:

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>darkwake=0 nvda_drv=1</string>

5. Save and reboot

You should be on the new NVIDIA drivers.

Thanks kawayuppie

New CUDA driver as well.

Anyone know why adding the nvda_drv=1 Kernel Flag doesn't work to have the system boot up using the NVIDIA web driver by default?

Still requires menu bar switching to the NVIDIA driver every boot.
