Hello,

yes, agreed, this is all annoying. Thorsten has changed the numbers back, but this is all unsatisfactory.

The basic motivation of it all was to have BOINC start after the graphics card is properly initialised, so CUDA/OpenCL is found by the BOINC client.

It seems like there is no way to artificially introduce a "sleep" into the init script ... but now tell someone that an init script should sleep. You are grilled alive for that. 

Something will come up. Most likely this will involve a test on /dev/nvidiactl and a conditional sleep. Better ideas welcome.

Steffen
