Please sir we just want some Nvidia drivers…

The Nvidia driver waiting room is not an uncommon place for the Apple user. All of us sat patiently while we wait for Dr Cook to call us in. When Apple released Sierra, it took 11 months for Apple/Nvidia to deliver it felt like purgatory. Now we’re here again so below is a current timeline of events which we will keep updated as regularly as possible.

June 2018

Apple release the public beta for Mojave.

September 9th 2018

An Nvidia representative posts onto the devtalk forum that “Apple fully control drivers for Mac OS. But if Apple allows, our engineers are ready and eager to help Apple deliver great drivers for Mac OS 10.14 (Mojave).”

September 24th 2018

Apple’s Initial Release of macOS 10.14 Mojave

October 15th 2018

Apple release an official support document for upgrading the Mac Pro 2010 & 2012 to Mojave.

“These specific third-party graphics cards are Metal-capable and compatible with macOS Mojave on Mac Pro (Mid 2010) and Mac Pro (Mid 2012):

October 16th 2018

The discovery of Nvidia RTX 2080 boot screens in the Mac Pro 5,1.

Follow the MacRumours discussion here:

November 1st 2018

MacRumors spoke to an Nvidia representative about the Nvidia drivers and lack of approval for the drivers. In fact, Apple isn’t even consistently communicating with Nvidia about the ongoing issue.

” “while we post the drivers, it’s up to Apple to approve them,” and suggested that we contact Apple. We followed that advice, but Apple has yet to respond to multiple requests for comment.”

December 14th 2018

President of RED Digital Cinema (Jarred Land) calls out an Apple representative in the crowd and requests the release for drivers at a joint RED/Nvidia annoucement. See the first 30 seconds of the below video.

December 19th 2018

The macOS driver petition reached 6000 signatures (6929 as of writing this article).

“The community of people who have chosen to use Nvidia products with their Apple hardware demands that Apple permit Nvidia to make web drivers that work with all Mac OS versions going forward.”

January 2nd 2019

Screenshot posted which appears to be a response to a support enquiry from an Nvidia customer care agent that Nvidia and Apple are now jointly working on drivers for the 10XX – RTX cards.

Hardware
System Summary

Runs on Buster installing in default EFI mode with latest Apple firmware. If you want to update EFI firmware, upgrade to macOS High Sierra and repartition the APFS container to allow space for your Linux partitions afterwards as free space or as a HFS+ partition to be deleted during the Debian installer partitioning process. Be aware partitioning utilities and grub on Linux may not identify APFS partitions properly.

CPU / Core 2 Duo P8600

See #cpuinfo for more details.

Occasionally only one out of the two cores is activated. Apparently adding the following to the kernel command line resolves this issue (unconfirmed):

GPU / Nvidia Geforce 320M

The GPU is an NVAF integrated graphics core in the MCP89 chipset.

nouveau works for 2D and 3D out of the box. Automatic power management is missing.
Proprietary nvidia driver requires setting PCIe registers to work around Apple's EFI firmware quirks. See Black screen fix (EFI mode) below. Backlight control may require nvidiabl kernel modules to be built.

2D

KMS works.
no xorg.conf needed for X

3D

supported as of linux 2.6.37
mesa's nouveau_dri driver works. occasional rendering errors though.

External display

mini-?DisplayPort connector works as of linux 3.2

Backlight control

nv_backlight (nouveau) works in recent kernels. apple_bl works, but nv_backlight is preferred by gnome-settings-daemon.
nvidia may allow backlight control after adding a registry flag to the configuration file.

nvidia backlight did not function with nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver on Buster. nvidiabl dkms modules needed to be built to restore backlight adjustment within Gnome 3 and keyboard control. See https://github.com/yorickvP/nvidiabl.

Black screen fix (EFI mode)

According to a post on askubuntu.com, the black screen when starting X11 while using the proprietary nvidia driver is not a driver issue. When booting in EFI mode (while handing over to grub), Apple's firmware does not actually activate the VGA card as PCI-E bus master. We can fix this setting up two PCI-E registers: one that enables bus-mastering on the video card and the other one enabling VGA support on the PCI-E bridge of the video card.

Determine the PCIe IDs for the graphics card and the PCI-E bridge that it is connected to

Create a GRUB script for setting the PCI-E registers during boot and update GRUB configuration

After rebooting, the register values should have been set accordingly, which can be check as follows

Using the proprietary nvidia driver now, there should be no more black screen when starting X11.

Note: The Mac Mini 4.1 basically uses the same hardware, but there's no black screen when using the proprietary nvidia driver in EFI mode.

Apple ClickPad

Multi-touch gestures like the drag two-finger drag gesture are supported in the current xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package (>1.6.1).

If you would like your touchpad to behave like the natural scrolling mode in Mac OS X Lion, you have to add the next line to your ~/.Xmodmap

Apple Touchpad

?MacBookPro3,1 touchpad behavior might be smoother with the kernel boot option:

possibly adding it to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line in /etc/defaults/grub

For older versions you can check PageFragmentClickPadOld

Apple Keyboard

Configuration

You can set up the keyboard layout with this command:

This will change the config file /etc/default/keyboard into something like this:

… or another example:

Default behaviour

'fn'+'Enter' -> Insert
'fn'+'Backspace' -> Delete
'fn'+'Up' -> PageUp
'fn'+'Down' -> PageDown
'fn'+'Left' -> Home
'fn'+'Right' -> End
'Clear' -> NumLock

Function key behaviour

The hid_apple module has a parameter called 'fnmode' to change the behaviour of the 'fn'-key

There's three settings for fnmode:

0 = disabled: Disable the 'fn' key. Pressing 'fn' has no effect
1 = fkeyslast: Enable the 'fn' key. Pressing 'F1-F12' keys will act as special keys. Pressing 'fn'+'F1-F12' will behave like 'F1-F12'.
2 = fkeysfirst: Enable the 'fn' key. Pressing 'F1-F12' keys will behave like the real 'F1-F12'. Pressing 'fn'+'F8' will act as the special key (play/pause in this case).

There's several ways to set this parameter:

using sysfs, for example:
as a module parameter (won't work if you compile hid_apple in your kernel):
if this throws no error you can
on the kernel command line: edit /etc/default/grub, and add the following to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable:

Swapped keys on international keyboards

Gpu For Macbook Pro 2010

The hid_apple module also has a parameter called 'iso_layout'

0 means international layout, so on an 'English International' keyboard the '§±'-key will be top left, and the '`~'-key will be next to left shift
1 swaps it around

There's several ways to set this parameter:

using sysfs, for example:
as a module parameter (won't work if you compile hid_apple in your kernel):
if this throws no error you can
on the kernel command line: edit /etc/default/grub, and add the following to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable:

SATA / Nvidia MCP89

The firmware switches the SATA controller in two different modes depending on how the system was booted. In CSM/BIOS mode the sata_generic driver is used; in EFI mode the ahci driver is used.

Gpu For Mac Pro 2010

SATA / AHCI Mode

Many SATA controllers have two modes of operation: IDE mode (using the ata_generic or the ata_piix kernel modules for example), and AHCI mode (using the ahci module). Apple determines the mode of operation on boot based on whether the system is booted in EFI mode or BIOS compatibility mode (see the whole section on EFI/BIOS for more detail).

When you use BIOS mode the SATA controller will be switched to IDE mode. If you want to set the controller in AHCI mode while using BIOS compatibility before the kernel boots up, you can do it using GRUB2. The reason why you might want to do this, is because the AHCI mode and module ensures better performance under load, and is generally more stable.

The fix is to just add a setpci call on your GRUB configuration. To be safe you can test it by going into command line mode in GRUB, and doing something like this:

You can add this to your GRUB configuration, and avoid losing it on upgrades, by adding a script like this to /etc/grub.d/:

Gigabit Ethernet / Broadcom BCM5764M

Works our of the box with the tg3 driver.

WiFi / Broadcom BCM432x

Installing the driver

The Broadcom BCM4321 and BCM4322 are supported by the b43 driver as of Linux 2.6.38. Later kernels improve the speed and stability of the aforementioned “N-PHY” hardware considerably (thank you, Rafał Miłecki).

To confirm you have such hardware you can refer to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Device_firmware_installation

Installing the firmware

Ensure you have “contrib” archive area set up in your /etc/apt/sources.list, for example:

Next (after an “apt-get update” of course) install the firmware-b43-installer package:

The hardware will be fully functional the next time the b43 driver is loaded (after reboot or by explicitly unloading/loading the driver).

Alternative driver

This hardware is also supported by the proprietary wl driver.

Known issues

BCM4321: The wl driver offers many more options than b43, this is specially useful for some advanced wireless scanning and performance data. The main difference, however, is that the b43 driver does not know how to do proper power-saving with this card. The wl driver does a much better job. This is noticeable in the temperature of the card, usually a difference of 10-15°C. In favor of the b43 driver, it is much faster to scan and join wireless networks.

Wi-Fi BCM4322 [14e4:432b] (rev 01)

Proprietary wl driver appears more reliable and faster than b43 on MacBookPro 7,1 with BCM4322 [14e4:432b] (rev 01). With either driver, Wi-Fi fails to scan and find networks upon boot on Buster. Scan functionality is restored by putting the computer to sleep and waking it up again.

Bluetooth / Broadcom BCM2046

Works out of the box with the btusb driver.

Audio / Nvidia MCP89

Works out of the box with the snd-hda-intel driver.

Some remarks though:

speakers are quiet by default: opening up surround speakers using alsamixer helps
however, only one of the surround speakers is active for me, there's no way to activate left surround channel
S/PDIF (optical) is always active after sleep or reboot

Power Management

Suspend to ram works out of the box.

Firewire / Agere Systems FW643 (1394b)

Works out of the box.

Apple iSight

Works out of the box with the uvcvideo driver.

Apple IR Receiver
