GPU clients

[AMDave]

Brucifer,

I am using Gnome Ubuntu 8.10 on a Phenom 9750 with a 9600GT and the 177.x version of the NVIDIA driver,
which your Ibex should load for you under
System > Administration > Hardware Drivers

I had a quick chat on IRC #distributed and per the note under the client download we "should" be installing the CUDA library first.
That is the correct way.

But then I found this interesting trail (plus others that were similar):

So, I cheated on the libraries :P
I copied the cudaart library from the BOINC GPUGRID client into my dnetc-cuda folder

(my thinking was "Hey this is an ELF version", and this ".so" file is kind of like the ".so" files for eOn and they live in the same folder, so I'll just try that...)

cp ~/BOINC/projects/www.ps3grid.net/libcudart.so.2 ~/dnetcuda/

and it "just worked"
Awesome.
heh heh heh

I just cleared my GPUGRID cache.
I see Bender10 flying up behind me
Time to get rolling, rolling rolling, RAW HIDE!

(Just because I got away with it this time does not mean that it will work with the next version of the client. We will see what happens then)

PS - Gnome is better :P
