Any NVIDIA web drivers for 10.10.4? Perfect storm ..upgraded to GTX 960 and public beta

[nolanjames]

Inexperienced Hackintosher., upgraded to GTX 960 while also participating in public beta for 10.10.4

I did find the page here that showed all the betas for NVIDIA, but the latest ones don't support 10.10.4

Just says not compatible with this version of OS X. Any way to fix this other than waiting ? Just a hobby and for fun so not essential at this moment . I learned my lesson . I will read before doing this in the future ... No way to go back to 10.10.2?

Use Pacifist to install the latest driver pkg. 

 

Edit /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAStartup.kext changing the os requirement.

 

NVDARequiredOS

14E

 

Add nvda_drv=1 to your boot args

[nolanjames]

Tried it. Still cannot get it to work. Every time I run the installer I am still getting the "installer not compatible with this  version error"

Really no idea what to do. Ready to cry. 

[joe75]

what i suggested bypasses the installer and lets you manually install the kexts..

 

with the edit to nvdastartup you will need to also be using the kext-dev-mode=1 flag 

 

if it still doesn't work.. PEBKAC

[nolanjames]

Ok I downloaded Pacifist Do I edit the resources in there after I drag package in?

Also, I totally missed the nvda_drv=1 

I have had to use nv_disable=1 at boot since my system at startup since it was hanging at the Apple logo with the new device installed. 

 

 

Editing. I used terminal to go into that sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAStartup.kext 

It said it was a directory?

Not a file. So confused. 

 

When I left click or click open with terminal on the actual kext in the folder. It just takes me to my username in the terminal nothing else

One Last edit . I found the plist.

 

Tried to open it with x code .. Didn't open .. Tried to open with text editor .. Beach ball just clocked

[joe75]

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAStartup.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

control x to save and y to ok it, after type sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

Joe .. I figured out how to install driver package via pacifist . Used the latest 10.10.3 driver . What do I do when I start up next time ?Is it installed? I was reading on another thread where you had to install it twice? Somewhat confusing. Install once using it and install it a second time after typing this in

 

sudo nvram boot-args="-v kext-dev-mode=1 nvda_drv=1

 

But I went to the original installer-non pacifist-and got the error message about the package not being compatible.

And one other thing..I must have already edited the info.lst file and not realized it. It had 14e already in it:)
 

And I guess two other things....after I installed the driver through pacifist I restarted but driver did not take after reboot. Still not acceleration. 

[joe75]

I would add those boot args to your boot.plist or config

 

the kexts only need to be installed once. after everything is done correctly the nvda_drv=1 command will start the NVDAStartup which says to use 'Web" drivers.

 

NVDAType

Web

 

Don't bother trying to run the installer anymore..  After 10.10.4 is released you can run a compatible installer

It looks like I already have Web driver installed in right area

 

Any areas I missed?

I had the nvda_drv=1 at boot up with no acceleration:-(
Sorry one other thing. After I typed the sudo touch command literally nothing happened other than a new line
