WindowServer crash (Nvidia Web Driver)

[Thunderfall]

Here you go.

I have removed the serial numbers and UUID, it's pretty basic though. For KEXT, currently I am using the Lilu.kext, NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext but only because I am using the AppleALC.kext to get audio working since the CloverALC method is not working properly with 10.13.2. With Lilu.kext installed and without NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext, I do not get acceleration. I can boot fine without either of them installed though and do not have any issues either way.

That's weird I have exactly the same setup, but I am experiencing issues. Especially when I am using safari.

Add your build to your profile and post your config.

Added my build to my signature, and attached my config.plist. Also removed my serial and uuid. It do think there's some crap in there since I updated from Sierra to High Sierra, not sure though.

Why the Intel ig-platform-id (0x19120000) if you have Nvidia graphics ?

That is a very good question. Can't remember that I've ever explicitly set that. What do you suggest it should be?

Not a suggestion, it should be blank.

Alright. What kind of issues does/can it cause when filled? From what I can read it has to do with the embedded GPU. I did remove it and rebooted.

You are not using Intel graphics so you don't need it.

Try with this edited version of your config.plist and report progress :

Installation procedure :

BIOS - Disable Integrated graphics - Set PEG as Primary
Use a digital connection - DVI or HDMI - VGA is not supported.
Boot with nv_disable=1
May need to update Clover
Install web drivers
Update web drivers to ensure that you have the correct version.
Config.plist - Do not inject Intel or Nvidia graphics and no ig-platform-id
Config.plist - Disable SIP completely - CsrActiveConfig 0x67
Edit config.plist - NvidiaWeb = true as per Link
Will need to emulate native NVRAM - Problem 6 - Install EmuVariableUefi-64 and RC scripts.
Remove nv_disable=1 from config.plist
May need to install Lilu.kext , LiluFriend and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext

Potential Problems :
HDMI 2.0 is not supported - Use HDMI 1.4 (or lower)
If your graphics card has more than one output of the type that you are using then try another one.
Black Screen with MacPro 6,1 or iMac 15 or iMac 17 System Definition

Alright, did the following:

* Upgraded my Clover to r4359 (Customized the install to upgrade EmuVariableUefi-64 and RC scripts to target volume)
* Checked NVIDIA Web Drivers, and they were already on latest.
* Using your added config.plist for booting now.
* I already have Lilu.kext, and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext.

What's the added benefit of LiluFriend? Not sure if I completely understand the problem it attempting to solve.

I do have to say that everything feels a little snappier. Not sure if that's a placebo effect, or due to the changes above.

See the developer's web page for details.

I've lost track, what issues are you trying to solve now ?
