Hi!
When running BOINC 6.4.1 on Mandriva x86_64 + 9800GT
(driver 177.70 installed by RPMdrake), i got the message "no CUDA devices found".
So, I can't attach to project GPUGRID.

Any issue ?

Thanks

Hmm... the line

BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 6100 and later"
looks a little bit weird to me...

I think the best would be to try the official 177.82 drivers for your 9800GT from NVIDIA.

[edit]But make sure to completely remove the old drivers from Mandriva before installing the new ones.

It was only a problem with BOINC 6.4.0 , not the drivers.

I change to boinc 6.3.19, everything fine now!
