[Bug 587426] Re: No GPU found

[Skip Guenter]

Since I'm using the 'sleep' for my' boinc after gdm delay' I just added
the xhost + in front of that to get:

start()
{
  log_begin_msg "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
  if is_running; then
    log_progress_msg "already running"
  else
    xhost + 
    sleep 5
    /home/skip/setfan.sh
    start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --pidfile $PIDFILE \
      --make-pidfile --user $BOINC_USER --chuid $BOINC_USER \
      --chdir $BOINC_DIR --exec $BOINC_CLIENT -- $BOINC_OPTS
  fi
  log_end_msg 0

Disregard the setfan.sh it just uses aticonfig to jack up the fan speed
on the card and bury the messages.

Thought maybe "xhost + boinc@" might work.  It didn't, but then I've
never touched xhost before.

As long as a user stays logged on this seems to work fine.  Which, BTW,
is not a requirement my nvidia GPU'd machines.  They don't have users
logged on and maintain communication with the driver w/o issue (startup
is sometimes an issue if no monitor is plugged into it depending on how
xorg.conf is set up).

Thanx for the X-lent info and a better work-around, Skip
