Fix to 10.9.3 + Newer Nvidia Cards only returning black screen (e.g. 780ti):
Problem: Updated to 10.9.3 and still get black screens no matter which boot flags you enter. Assuming you already had the nvidia web driver installed (
http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/...ate-graphics-drivers-10-9-3-334-01-01f01.html) but could not update while still being on 10.9.2.
Solution:
- In bootloader enter: -s
- wait until it says ":/root" and you can enter commands
(if it complains to wait for geforce sensors or something, give it a few extra time)
- enter: mount -uw / and hit enter
- enter: cd /System/Library/Extensions and hit enter
- enter: mv NV* / and hit enter
- enter: exit
- Reboot
- In bootloader enter: nvda_drv=0
(we want to overwrite anything contrary you may have entered in your boot.cfg)
- You should now be in mavericks again but with a ****ty resolution because the gfx driver is not running
- Go to nvidia control panel and update to 334.01.01f01 which you couldn't do before 10.9.3.
It will also whine about old cuda drivers, so go ahead and also update those.
My config:
Geforce 780ti
10.9.3
Gigabyte-UD5H
Monitor attached via display port and working like a charm.
Hope this helps!
