continued high sierra web driver issues

10/29/2017

So I continue to get emails and blog posts about issues with the High Sierra Web Drivers. I tried to log on yesterday and tell you that you were imagining things but after I installed my 121 update, I had same trouble !!!

I'm still not sure what the issue is, I have noticed that when I have the "white dock" problem it isn't that the drivers aren't loaded. I see them as loaded and I can run 2 displays at once and I can even run Uningine Valley. HOWEVER, a dead giveaway that there are issues is that moving windows results in redraws that don't include everything inside. Also, the Valley scores are about 1/2 of what they should be. Also, everything is clunky. (not very scientific, I know) But the solid white dock is the most obvious thing.

Anyhow, I tried re-installing the 117, 120, and 121 drivers. No help. I re-installed HS and tried 114, still white dock. I did PRAM reset and ran Supplemental update. No love.

​Only after I did this twice have I gotten the 117 driver to work correctly again. At first it wasn't, but when I opened the Preference Pane for "Security and Privacy" there was a notice that it had blocked something from Nvidia from loading. A quick "let it load" and restart and I was off to the races. And I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm too frightened to run 120 or 121 again. I don't have 1/2 a day to track this down. I sent a note to Nvidia tech guys, hopefully the culprit is found.

Thanks for posting this. I thought I was losing my mind (still unable to get it work). Which Cuda driver are you running with 117?

Also, I'm not sure if this is relevant, but in the system information. My GTX 980 TI shows up twice under PCI Slot-1. One entry has driver installed yes, and the other lists no.

Hey, I don't believe CUDA plays into this. And the showing up twice has always been the case, one instance is the GPU, the other is the sound card which is built in. OSX does not provide drivers for it. (would be great if the Nvidia drivers did, we can dream)

Thanks for the info. I'll continue to try to install 117 and hope for the best until a fix arrives.

Could the "White Dock" issue be because the "Reduce Transparency" in System Preferences > Accessibility > Display is checked?

I don't have it checked. Also, my Cuda dependent applications are not working correctly. Something is hosed.

It's apparently a Library Validation issue

Mine didn't work until I looked in the Security Pref Pane where a notice was waiting about Nvidia

Hmm. Mine still is not working, but I've never had a notice in the Security Preferences.

Thanks for posting this. Got me thinking in the right direction.

Here's the interesting thing. The Security Pref Pane did not show the error until I put my older card back in. Once I was able to see it, I could tell it to allow loading. Then I put my GTX 970 back in and all is well.

I'm not having any problems with 121 on my GTX 960, I have the CUDA drivers running as well.

I would hold off on macOS 10.13.1 (17B48) for the WIFI fix.
You will need a new driver update for that.

The 10.12.6 security update busts the drivers too

Not sure why you would not expect that. Nvidia will have an update soon.

I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4 GB on OS X 10.13.1. I installed the new Nvidia driver (for 10.13..1), but doesn't work. I tried PRAM reset, but Graphic card works only with OSX driver, not so good.

So are the new drivers safe to install?

Dave - any “official” word on whether SIP should be enabled or disabled during installation of web drivers? I am holding off on upgrading my 4,1->5,1 to HS until the performance, GUI, and other issues get worked out but I have heard conflicting reports about what role SIP might play in all this. (You flashed a 980 for me that works WONDERFULLY under 10.12.6).
