Hmm... Usually I can figure this out, but I am stuck on this one.

I have a GTX 960 and thus require the Nvidia WebDriver.

After the upgrade, I booted with nv_disable=1, installed the correct WebDriver. and then attempted to boot with nvda_drv=1 as usual. However my monitor just goes to sleep, like its not loading the driver.

Not home right now to see the exact version number, but when I booted into 10.11 for the first time, the Nvidia pref pane offered to automatically download and install the newest one for El Cap. I assumed that would be the correct one.

Are you on 10.11.1? The latest WebDriver only supports 10.11.1, not 10.11.0. You can remove the version check (see OP) to get around that, if you need 10.11.0 for whatever reason.

That is likely it.. I likely have 10.11.0 installed...

I'll give that a try when I get home later. I should have researched it a little further.


Thanks!

Just wanted to add I fixed my problem. It turned out to be my SMBIOS setting which was set to iMac15,1. Somehow I had managed to open a very old backup copy of my Clover config.plist with the wrong SMBIOS setting and had saved it to /EFI/Clover overwriting my correct config.
