Philips Display does not work after El Capitan installation

This fix worked when using ElCapitan. Now I updated to Sierra and the fix does not work. Any suggestions??? So frustrating. I'm using a Philips Model 246V5 with my Mac mini (Late 2014), 3 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel Iris 1536 MB Thanks.

Hi

I can help you in this matter but only 50%. Maybe somebody can answer the rest of the solution.

My 50% of the solution is this:

The Overrides directory has moved to /System/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides from /System/Library/Displays/Overrides.

But the other 50% to get a solution is the following.

The new directory is now write protected.

Can somebody show us how to get the Vendor file into this directory ?

Thanks

Peter

OK and here is the rest of the solution

El Capitan has a new Protection system (rootless)

So it is no longer possible to use the superuser su command

So first deactivate the Protection System

For this

1. Restart your Mac
2. hold cmd R during start
3. get into recovery mode
4. choose utilities and then Terminal
5. type csrutil disable (csrutil enable to establish the Protection system again)
6. quit the terminal program
7. restart your mac
8. go to the overrides folder right click information
9. change the write protection to read an write for all users
10. then copy the vendor folder to it
11. don't forget to restart the mac once more so that the vendor file can be processed from the system
12. enable the Protection system of your mac again

Hopefully this helps for the Mac mini users

Hello...I too am having a problem with my Philips monitor / my MacMini using El Capitan. I understand all of the directions except the following.

1. Where is the overrides folder

2. What is the vendor file and where is it located

Thank you in advance for the information. This has been so frustrating.

I also have the "su problem" but for a different vendor.

So what is the "vendor file" and how do I get one for a particular vendor??

TIA.
