Graphics lost after update to 10.9.3, nVidia GT 435m

[avi]

I had perfectly working Hackintosh on 10.9. However I had to update to 10.9.3 cos of Xcode Beta 6. I have taken back up of kexts from /S/L/E directory

 

Here is what I did:

• Downloaded 10.9.3 combo update  
  
• Installed it
  
• When I booted it started going to blank screen after Io Bluetooth Completed
  
• So I removed all graphics related kexts AppleIntelHD*, NVDA*, GeForce*
  
• Rebooted. Now I can boot into it 10.9.3, however no graphics. The resolution was at 1280x1024
  
• Restored kexts from back up, no luck, same error as step one. Removed them and rebooted again.
  
• Then I installed these kexts (I have also attached same kexts as attachment here) , now resolution is fixed at 1080p, however I find it quite slow. It takes time (in mili seconds perhaps) to draw the graphics on screen. Not sure how do I explain it better. It's just slow.
  

I load DSDT from /Extra/dsdt.aml (I have also attached this)

smbios.plist (located at /Extra):

Thank you, but my problem is different

I think your problem is the same, try that solution.

Restore all original 10.9.3 kexts and add your board ID into AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.

[avi]

Restore all original 10.9.3 kexts

How to do this? or did you meant kexts of 10.9?

and also path mentioned in that seems wrong:

/S*/L*/E*/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/C*/P*/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/C*/Info.plist

but here, after /S*/L*/E*/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/C*/P*/, I don't have AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext

[pernacabeluda]

No, I mean the kexts installed by 10.9.3 update.

Edit /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/Info.plist and insert your board ID in ConfigMap

 

ioreg -lw0 | grep board-id

I don't have following directory at all

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/

[pernacabeluda]

You should have.

Install the 10.9.3 combo update.

no I don't... so can I install update again on the update? and also there are no NVDA or GeForce kext in the /S/L/E now. So this update will also install them?

You should have in that folder

AppleGraphicsDeviceControl.kext

AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext

AppleMGPUPowerControl.kext

AppleMuxControl.kext

ApplePolicyControl.kext

 

Yes, you can install a combo update over an already updated system, it will install NVDA* and GeForce* kexts.

Okay, I will try now and report back here.

Shall I use Mac-94245B3640C91C81 instead of 'Mac-94245A3940C91C80'? cos in my cos my ID is macbookpro8,1

and I got that from here: http://devid.info/es/model/5735

[pernacabeluda]

You have to insert the ID that you are using.

Run this in terminal to get it

ioreg -lw0 | grep board-id

It totally worked!!!! Thanks a lot guys, thank you very very much :D

Everyhting seems to be working, ethernet, audio, display... I couldn't be happier....

Earlier I had few gentures with my trackpad, 3 finger swipe and up/down scroll... only that thing seems to be not working now.... the same kexts which I had installed with my earlier update, were working.... so is there file I should edit to enable this again?

[pernacabeluda]

Try to change the speed in system preferences - trackpad, sometime it starts working after that.

[avi]

But in System Preferences it says no Trackpad or Mouse connected.

I only have following kexts which I had installed with Mavericks installation 10.9, the gestures I mentioned were working. They were even working when I had updated to 10.9.3 first time. Here are those kexts:

AppleHDA.kext

AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext

ApplePS2Controller.kext

AppleRTC.kext

AppleSmartBatteryManager.kext

HSSDBlockStorage.kext

IOAudioFamily.kext

JMB38X.kext

LegacyAGPM.kext

PXHCD.kext

RealtekRTL81xx.kext

I believe following two are related to trackpad, so I even reinstalled them:

AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext

ApplePS2Controller.kext

But still they are not working. Don't know what changed, as they were working earlier in my first update of 10.9.3

[avi]

Used Rehabman's Voodoo PS2 controller and now its back to how it was in 10.9. Yay!

Thank you very much guys
