Installed the nvidia web driver, and have since lost all video output if I plug the HDMI cable to the gtx960.

After installation of Web Drivers use the flag "nvda_drv=1" for booting.

If the booting turning to a black screen then boot with "nvda_drv=1 -f -v", is the booting stuck with messages on the screen then capture a clear photo of the entire screen and post here.

Disable CLOVER's NVIDIA graphics injection.

Anyway to do it without pulling out the card again?

sorry, brainfart. It's done and I have video. Thanks!

On the Clover boot loader screen, Select Options, then select Graphics Injector Menu then select the option InjectNVidia press space bar/enter to deselect the option. Then Select return and choose OS X partition to start the booting from it.

Once you had reached the desktop, mount the EFI paritition and open the file /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist file then disable the Nvidia injection. Save it and try rebooting.

Thanks Jithin. I'm going to owe you lots of beer soon haha.

Next issue: after I changed the system definition to MP3,1 (I understand that's the best for most compatibility for a dedicated Graphics card and I have the 960.) I rebooted and kept getting a crossed circle- and I couldn't go any further. Any fixes for that?

also, I'll ask here. I'm going to be using my GTX960. Clover by default assigns me iMac14,2 for my onboard graphics install. I can go to MP3,1 or 5,1 for the graphics card (6,1 gives me issues - no video output.)

Would you recommend one over the other, considering that I'll be using Handoff which isn't "compatible" with MacPros older than 2009, so I feel I should use MP5,1. But then I have to delete the AGPM kept which I feel will affect the GTX960 in which case 3,1 is better. Or should I stick to iMac 14,2?
thank you guys for all your help!

Edit: it seems the crossed-circle was caused by the "updated" nvidia drivers 343.02.02f02. Still no luck. Going to reinstall the third time now. Ugh.

That's the -f -v result.

So first I thought it was the SysDef causing issues, then I thought it was the nVidia driver. So this time, I installed the OSX security updates first. But same result. Stupid crossed circle!

How am I ever going to do updates to my drivers or App Store? Everything leads to this denied sign.
slide=0 didn't help. And I can't boot into the recovery partition. Same thing happens.maybe there is a boot flag to try?

Install number 6:

Remove OsxAptioFixDrv-64 from the /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/ then try to boot.

I was reading elsewhere about the Aptio2. Should I try that next time or stay away from both?
