Thanks, that helped, but its not hitting my monitor that I have plugged into the DVI port on the video card. When I was first doing this and going into 'edit' of the VM, and selecting my video card, it was actually displaying the boot up on my monitor, but the XML was messed up and it was stuck on 'booting from hard drive'. Now its not even powering up the monitor. Arggghhhhh.

Need help, I am trying to turn on my graphics card by editing my OSX virtual machine however for some reason my XML has a second graphics card in here somewhere because when I add my XML and save it, then edit the properties of the virtual machine the primary video card is VNC and it has as second video card that is my GTX 960. Can someone help me spot where the second video card is in my XML, I can't see it.

I would examine all your disks, I had a drive go, but it wasn't obvious at first and it caused random freezing and hiccups on my system, fortunately after a few reboots I got warnings about the drive and quickly replaced it. Run SMART tests on your drives if you suspect one might be on its way out.

I got a ton of emails too, I just upped the threshold to 85% for warning, then got a ton more emails saying the disks had returned to normal operation.

I should think you can use whatever resolutions are supported by your monitors and video card. For example in my setup, my video card supports 4k resolutions, so I should be able to support one 27' 4k monitor and two 23" monitors running at 1920x1080. I just need help getting to that point.

If anyone else can help me out I would appreciate it, CHBMB has helped me as far as he can and I really appreciate his time and effort. I am trying to pass through my GTX 960 video card, I ultimately want to run three monitors off it. I need to get USB passed through as well and sound too. I can post my USB info and my XML. Right now the OSX VM boots but it does not detect USB devices and graphics is stuck at 1024x768. So for the Qemu part of my XML looks like this: <qemu:commandline> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.0,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='vfio-pci,host=00:1d.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.2'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-kbd'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='usb-mouse'/> <qemu:arg value='-device'/> <qemu:arg value='isa-applesmc,osk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'/> <qemu:arg value='-smbios'/> <qemu:arg value='type=2'/> </qemu:commandline> This is my lspci info: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor DRAM Controller (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor PCI Express Root Port (rev 09) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 04) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579V Gigabit Network Connection (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 04) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev c4) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 5 (rev c4) 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev c4) 00:1c.7 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 8 (rev c4) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Z77 Express Chipset LPC Controller (rev 04) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 04) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 04) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] (rev a1) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0fba (rev a1) 63:00.0 PCI bridge: PLX Technology, Inc.

I think they parity too much......

I'm wondering if I should start from scratch. Can you sign in with your Appled ID?

Correct, you will never pass through Bus 003 but it would still be good to figure out which USB slots belong to Bus 003 for future reference. Its all the ports on the rear of my motherboard, I know because I plugged a USB flash drive into the empty slots and ran the command, as well I can see whats plugged into those slots corresponds with bus 003. So I am just going to pass through bus 004 then.

I posted in your USB passthrough thread, anyway I figured out that I shouldn't pass through bus 003 as that is the bus my UnRaid flash drive is on, my case has external USB ports on the top and those are on bus 004 so I figure I can pass that through, not sure what is on bus 001 or 002 nothing showed up when I plugged in my flash drives and it just shows Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub and 3.0 root hub.

So I am just starting this and this is the USB output from Putty for my system.

Or do I to plug a flash drive into to different ports still and run this command to see what ports are on Bus 003?

Yes I can, I have a keyboard connected to my UnRaid server and its operational now, even though my OSX VM is booted at the moment.

Well I was able to update to 10.11.2 no problem, however I cannot sign into iCloud or iMessage. I guess I will forge ahead with the USB passthrough and try to figure out how to pass my GTX 960 through. Do I have to plug an extra keyboard and mouse into my unraid server to figure out what USB controller they are on so I can pass them through?

So no, the info in my plist file was different, I updated it from what is in Archedraft's doc saved it, removed those XML lines again, but I still get the same error when starting the VM. I edited the plist file with text editor.

Do we really think at this point that my org.chameleon.boot.plist is corrupted? I haven't even edited it yet.

No I am following Archedraft's guide. Interestingly enough, with those XML lines left in (which step #20 says to remove) I can sign into iMessage.

Maybe I'll just start from scratch again and do this under Yosemite and see how it works out. If its good, then I'll upgrade to El Capitain.

Sorry if this is a stupid obvious question, but if my org.chameleon.boot.plist file is corrupt, how do I create one from scratch as you guys did?

Are we talking about the org.chameleon.boot.plist file? CHBMB what happens when you remove the XML lines in step #20 from your OSX VM can you start it? AM

Yes that is correct, if I remove the XML as outlined in step #20 of Archedraft's guide, I get the timestamp error that I posted, if I put the removed XML back, its fine.

No it was part of the files downloaded from Archedraft's guide, I haven't done anything with it yet, not even opened it.

Also if I can ask for someones help getting my GTX 960 to passthrough too at some point, that would be immensely helpful.

I haven't even gotten to that part, I'm stuck on removing the lines in step #20. I've created the Extra folder and put the org.chameleon.boot.plist file in there, that's it.

Step #20 of the guide says to remove those lines?
