Course, it may just be that Linux WUs have dried up. Cause rolling back the driver I can still not pull a WU. I think that seems more likely. ID: 17243 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Now that I have this driver I've noticed that even when boinc is not running any tasks, I have on thread of my i7 maxed at 100% cpu use and the whole system is slow and unresponsive. Kill boinc, and the issue goes away. And now I can't find a ppa to downgrade to back to 195.36.24, they all seem to have upgraded to this one. ID: 17245 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Time to upgrade anyways, 64 bit Linux is plenty mature, literally been using it for years now. ID: 17314 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Yeah, I can't find a changelog either. Still can't find a changelog, but I finally decided to try it out. xxx.29 revision seems to resolve all the driver issues I had.
