Hello,
I have been trying to get this to work to no avail.
The last thing was to downgrade to 3.2 version with a litle bit more success but the CUDA calculations are failing. If I use the NVIDIA board as graphic output, the screen comes up all mangle. If I use the main board (ATI) as graphic output, the screen is ok with both version of the ATI driver ( nominal and FireGL). I got the same bad calculations in both cases. Even the cppIntegration program is indicating FAILED.
Is there a conflict possible if the main board has an ATI chipset? I am beginning to think so.
My setup is :
MotherBoard: ASUS M4A78LT-M
Graphic Board : Geforce GTX 260 or Geforce 9600 GSO
PSU : ULTRA LS 600
Memory : 8 GB
OS : Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Anyone with the same configuration?
Edit: I did a test with my old config with Slackware which used to work with the MSI board and does not work with the ASUS board : conclusion = bad board for this application.
ATI chipset == NorthBridge AMD790

Any chance of getting the standalone CUDA card to operate correctly in this environnment?
Would a newer CUDA card work? GTX 5xx ?
I just gave up and order a replacement board with and nvidia chipset.
Edit 9-jun-2011
Finally got a new board M4N68T-M V2 with nvidia chipset nForce 630a.
Got it to work as a display + CUDA.
Still no luck as a standalone CUDA using the internal graphic for display,which is the configuration I had before.
