OK, another day and no major progress on finding what the issue is but
for sure:
1) The general problem of boinc getting started to soon can be confirmed
by doing the terminal command "sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart".
IF the GPU is then found apply the "sleep 5" to the startup script that
I've described in multiple places. I have encountered this at least
occasionally on all my Nvidia'd machines.
2) This problem is different than the delay/startup/gdm/xorg problem,
IMHO is NOT triaged and appears to be specific to ATI cards / drivers.
Since i have physically moved the Berkeley v6.10.56 binaries over the PPA binaries in /usr/lib/ with same result AND since running the Berkeley environment under the default user/BOINC/ DOES solve the problem this has to be either
a) a library location problem that "skip" can find the driver/lib but "boinc" can not;
OR
b) a user (boinc) permissions problem.
I have added boinc to the group "video" as shot in the dark, no change.
I did find /dev/ati/card0 with root:root ownership but read and write
for all. So I'm stuck again and currently out of ideas.
BTW, I'm playing with this on an Ubuntu v10.04 x64 machine. I'm ready
for a new idea to chase down if anyone has one, Thanx, Skip
