Nvidia Web driver won't work

[xman66]

I folled instructions and got

bash-3.2# kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel

bash-3.2# kextcache -system-caches
bash-3.2#

will reboot and see what happens

 

[xman66]

It worked but the frame buffer is corrupter. See upper left corner and the About window.

What does it say in About This Mac ? Graphics/Displays?
Looks like you've fixed the black screen but no acceleration.

I've change my Quadro 2000 to a Quadro FX 3800.

The later just crashed at boot trying to use the NVIDIA web drivers.
I got it to boot putting nv_disable=1 back

The Quadro 2000 got full res and it was blazing fast; but it didn't paint all pixel (minor detail).

Here is with the FX 3800:

Chipset Model: NVIDIA Chip Model

VRAM (Total): 3 MB

Do you need the web drivers for these cards? What happens if you boot and enable the default OS X drivers?

 

[xman66]

I tried and every time it rebooted back to the WebDriver. Should I change the config.plist manually?

 

[wildwillow]

You can change it in the Nvidia Driver manager in System Preferences.

 

[xman66]

I did. And disabled web driver in config.plist. Still has to boot with nv_disable=1 or it crashes in clover.

 

[wildwillow]

I don't know what else to suggest with your Quadro cards. If they do not work well with either default OS X drivers nor Web drivers I don't know of another method that can get them working correctly. Are you injecting Nvidia via your config.plist?

 

[xman66]

I am injecting Nvidia in config.plist. I went back to Quadro 2000 and I am sure if I could disable hardware acceleration features one by one I would discover which one is causing the corrupted frame buffer. I am no Mac OS expert however.
