NVid GPU not found till restart

[Skip Guenter]

There was a bug for this out on launchpad but for reasons unknown most 
of the bugs on launchpad are gone this morning! ????

Anyway, Krasu...

One option to get around this is to add a delay to the start() function 
in the script /etc/init.d/boinc-client to allow gdm to get going before 
boinc starts:

start()
{
log_begin_msg "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
if is_running; then
log_progress_msg "already running"
else
* sleep 5*
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
