Thanks for the reply Okky, apparently I marked it as read without actually thinking about it and then proceeded to wait for your response for a few weeks until I realized I had already received it. Whoops :P
Either way, after following your suggestions, I have managed to get VFIO working successfully with OSX! The steps necessary for me since my last email were: * Download and install Nvidia web drivers for OSX (https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/73628/en-us). I did this while it was running without a GPU attached. * Reboot VM this time with GPU attached in Qemu command script * Insert "nvda_drv=1" at the end of the Boot Options line in Clover's "Options". I also set up Synergy for use with the VM, since mouse control through Qemu's VNC(?) is a bit sluggish. My Synergy script if anyone needs it: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/2884c7c5612fdc77d171 My qemu startup if anyone needs it: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/52c6cbc7bc292c755e0c Finally, while adding nvda_drv=1 in boot options works, I seem to have to do this each time the VM boots. Is there a way to change Clover's boot options permanently? Also, sound does not currently work, however as I'm only using this VM for iOS development, it's not too big of a deal.
