Sorry, forgot to change the subject on last one...

Also have moved my S20boinc-client to S22boinc-client (not sure what all 
the ramifications are of this) in /etc/rc2.d

My "sleep" is inserted right after:

start()
{
log_begin_msg "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
if is_running; then
log_progress_msg "already running"
else
# GPU0
* sleep 2*
# nvclock -c 1 -F auto -f
