[Bug 1434570] Re: 64-bit BOINC crashes with ever NVidia driver

[David Anderson]

Xubuntu 14.04. This really bites as of 3.13.0-88 #135. X86_64
Installing nvidia drivers via additional drivers menu works and X works
so I have a desktop.

No matter which nvidia I select.   But boinc cannot see my pair
of GTX-760 GPUs

If I install nvidia-modprobe then X no longer comes up. 
ssh from another machine works.

What have had to do after every recent kernel update (because
X would not come up after reboot) was

sudo apt-get purge 'nvidea*'
reboot (now in nouveau),
if necessary twice to get clean shutdown.

Using additional drivers, select one nvidia or another.
reboot (now in nvidia),
if necessary twice to get clean shutdown.

Boinc would not see the GPUS.
sudo apt-get install nvidia-modprobe
(which installs a 340 modprobe, rather old)
reboot.

But now as of 3.13.0-88 #135. X86_64
the nvidia modprobe kills X.  No desktop.
