[Bug 587426] Re: No GPU found

[src@webmail.co.za]

Same problem here.
Installed Ubuntu 10.10 from scratch - did standard update on ATI driver and used Software Center to install Boinc.
Got version 6.10.58 which does not find my HD4850. ("No usable GPUs..")
Fiddled around a bit using suggestions from this thread with no success.
Uninstalled Boinc from Software Center and downloaded boinc_6.10.58_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh from Boinc website and ran directly from Downloads folder.
Starting the Run_Client and Run_Manager scripts manually from here works fine with Boinc finding the GPU and crunching DnetC ATI tasks with ease.

Its coming up for 9-months since this bug was reported, so is it not
time to give birth to a fix in the Software Center install scripts?

The original bug-report states Boinc 6.10.17 was installed, so its
obviously been updated since then.. so how come this bug is still
around? - Its clearly just a user/permissions/timing/ownership issue as
there is no problem running the exact same code under the current user
after startup/login etc.
