Nvidia Geforce 9600m Gt Macbook Pro Driver For Mac
Hi All, I boot from the same SSD for two PCs. I use clover and two separate configs for each PC and everything works perfectly except NVidia drivers. Us232r-100 driver for mac. On the first PC I have GTX 980 Ti graphics card and to get it work I need to install NVidia Web driver. On the second PC I have 9600 GT and to get it work I need to remove NVidiaWeb Driver.
To install or remove the driver I need to boot with argument nvdisable=1. Another difference in graphic configs for 9600 GT Inject NVidia option needs to be set to true. After I have done manipulation with graphic driver everything works perfectly. I'm looking for solutions like: - disable completely NVidia Web Driver (I tried to use nvdadrv=0 and set inject nvidia to true and false for 9600 GT in Clover with Web Drivers installed and it didn't work) - get 9600GT to work with NVidia Web Driver installed - automated script to enable or disable NVidia Web Drivers Kexts OS: Mac OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan SSD: OCZ Vertex 3 256Gb PC Configurations: 1) MB: Asus P8H61M LX CPU: Core i3 2320 GPU: NVidia 9600 GT RAM: 8 GB 2) MB: Asus Sabertooth Z77 CPU: Core i5 3570K GPU: NVidia GTX980 ti RAM: 16 GB. Hi fantomas1, Thanks, I like the idea to block only NVDAStartupWeb and removing only this kext from S/L/E on PC with 9600GT got it work. I tried to block kext in Clover and enter NVDAStartupWeb and NVDAStartupWeb.kext, but Block kext option didn't work. I booted without kext cache and have Clover version 3330.
Screenshot is in attachment. And I didn't find an option to block a kext in Clover config.

Right now I'm wondering if putting NVDAStartupWeb to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11 will get PC with 980Ti work. Right now I keep in this folder only FakeSMC kext which works. I'll try it this evening. I tried to put NVDAStartupWeb to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11, and the kext loads but NVidia web driver doesn't start, the only way to get it work is to put it to /S/L/E For NVidia Driver Manager there's no reaction at all. As a workaround I created shell script which copies or removes NVDAStartupWeb from /S/L/E which I plan to execute when I switch PC. But I consider this solution as a workaround.
As permanent solution I wonder if there a solution which allows to execute script/binary which would before system start check if kext exists in /S/L/E and delete it in first config and in the second config copy the kext to /S/L/E if it does not exist. I believe the worst case scenario is no more actual for me, in which I would replace 9600 GT to another graphical card Buying another SSD would not solve my problem for setting everything up and synchronising my work between PCs and would make it more complicated (Git, SVN, BtSync.).
TLDR: It's not supported, it's even unwanted and the performance is likely to be poor. If you want to safe battery life, I'm not sure switch GPU's is going to make an enormous difference either.
So sorry, but I think it's impossible. Here's nVidia's take on the problem: Question Does the Apple Macbook Pro (Late 2008) support NVIDIA's Hybrid SLI® technology? NVIDIA Hybrid SLI technology for notebook computers allows a motherboard GPU and a discrete GPU to work together for extreme multi-GPU SLI performance when needed (called GeForce Boost mode), or use just a single GPU for low power consumption and long battery life (called Hybrid Power mode). Apple's Macbook Pro (Late 2008) does feature both the NVIDIA® GeForce®9400M motherboard GPU for everyday computing and the NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600M GT discrete GPU for high graphics performance. You can switch between the Geforce 9400M motherboard GPU (called 'Better Battery Life') and the Geforce 9600M GT discrete GPU (called 'Higher Performance'), but you cannot use both GPU's at once in this implementation.
Apple's hybrid graphics technology is supported under the MacOS X operating system version 10.5.5 and higher only. When running Microsoft's Windows XP™ or Microsoft's Windows Vista™ using Apple's Boot Camp, the system locks into higher performance mode which uses the Geforce 9600M GT discrete GPU for all graphics related tasks and can not be changed to use the Geforce 9400M motherboard GPU for battery life mode. For more information on Hybrid SLI technology, click here: For more information on the Apple MacBook Pro featuring NVIDIA technology, click here: Furthermore you have to be using Vista or Windows 7 to even be able to use it: Q: Which OS supports Hybrid SLI?
A: Hybrid SLI is supported only by Windows Vista. It is currently not supported with any other operating system. Though Microsoft seems to think Hybrid SLI is a bad thing, because that it won't be supported for Windows 7.
This makes it even more unlikely it will be easy to find a hack for this.
