Dr A seems to like you at the moment, you've managed to convince him to change a couple of things now. BOINC blog ID: 12903 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

Others (Paul, Barry, Nicolas) provided the impetus and the clues about where to look, I just provided the final summary in a form of words which tickled his fancy. ;-) ID: 12904 · Rating: 0 · rate: /

Very interesting stuff -- I have encountered a problem though with 6.10.x over on Collatz on a new system running Win 7 RTM on an ATI 785 chipset (embedded ATI GPU 4200). 6.10.7 detected the installed Win7 specific version of Catalyst and downloaded ATI GPU work, all of which comp errored out quickly. 6.10.9 and 6.10.10 would not download any work as neither version of the client detected the installed Catalyst driver (the client did detect the 4200GPU, just denied the existence of Catalyst). I then installed an 8400GS I had hanging around -- it is processing GPU's with that combination. Well this one didn't last very long either. Its now been superceeded by 6.10.10.

And now there's a v6.10.11 (Windows only, until Charlies gets his hands on it). And it is not clear to me that the server side is properly updated as the options are still the same though the notes seem to indicate that they should be different. I just hope that I can get work when I need it from there even though I am not updating past 6.10.7 till it looks like I will not have to enter version a day mode ... ID: 12918 · Rating: 0 · rate: /
