Hello.

No, this is wrong. When people install BOINC, they think that it will use
GPU, and they will use CPU for their own tasks. But this is wrong, because
boinc doesn't use GPU at all. README will not solve the problem, because the
package is broken by default, this is not something extraordinary but a
common case, which will be reproduced everywhere in nVidia environment. I
think we should add a dependency on X login manager (kdm | gdm | xdm | etc)
and change startup level with update-rc.d to let boinc start after that
login manager. Otherwise, as I already said, the package is broken, and this
is not the thing people expect  to see.
