[Solved] GTX 980 Nvidia Webdrivers Crash!!!

[Gobachoaf]

I have my system more or less running using clover, but my graphics are awful, the screen flickers, and is horrible resolution, because I have to use nv_disable=1.

I tried to install the Nvidia webdrivers for Yosemite 10.10.5, but whenever I install them and it prompts a restart, I attempt to use nvda_drv=1, but the screen goes completely, black with the computer still on.

What should I do?

As of now my boot args that work but have bad graphics are: (npci=0x2000, nv_disable, kext-dev-mode-1, rootless=0, and slide=0)

and (npci=0x2000, nvda_drv=1, kext-dev-mode-1, rootless=0, and slide=0) does not work when trying to install the drivers.

Thanks!

What system profile are you using?

Hi, I'm currently using the MacPro 6,1 profile. I completed #4 in your link, rebooted, then turned on Nvidia graphics which caused a reboot, I then replaced nv_disable=1 with nvda_drv=1, but the same thing happened. I got about 1/8 the way on the loading bar then the screen flashed black for a bit searching for an input...

Thanks for all the help, but I figured it out, I had already changed /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/ Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6 = Config1 to none, but I just change all the other config2 to none as well. I then ran kext utility and restarted, then bam! it works!
