NVIDIA Web Driver Clover Patch + Tools

[vulgo]

Thanks, and sudo is not needed. So it's

pkgutil --expand WebDriver-378.10.10.10.25.106.pkg ./106
cd 106
sed -i '' 's/(result != 0)/(false)/g' Distribution
cd ..
pkgutil --flatten 106 106.pkg

Wrapped it in an apple script, opens a file chooser or just drop the package on it.

Great, thank you! I was working on a more graphical version (choose file with prompt "Please select WebDriver pkg:" of type {"pkg"}), but yours works flawlessly.

Great job with this , it is a very easy solution to the problem.

Clover Configurator can add the patch, just back up your config.plist before opening it with the app.

The repackager is very good, but should be used only in specific cases (ex. no internet connection). You should use webdriver.sh, as it was updated to check for the Clover patch.
Back to your question, the NVIDIA preference panel has no effect on loading the webdriver. You can even delete it, along with com.nvidia.nvagent.plist from /Library/LaunchAgents.

Installation successful with Clover Patch + Homebrew + WebDriver but:

Is that normal? I'm noticing also that the fan on my card is not spinning, it spinned always after last time I "updated" to .106 with webdriver.sh also without this notice (screenshot).

If you have acceleration maybe remove the panel. It's only really useful on cards with ECC or when the card is also natively supported. Likewise with updates, it only notifies you after you upgrade so presumably you'd be checking for updates some other way (e.g. on tonymacx86) before starting software update. You can choose to enable the 'default macos drivers' i.e. no drivers in the Clover menu at boot. At boot press space for the entry menu, uncheck the nvidia option.

I can confirm that in my case updating with this method doesn't enable the Web Drivers properly. Photoshop crashes, Rendering with Premiere is slowly and the fan is not spinning.
