CUDA does not find my gt210

Hi all,

I recently bought a Card with a gt210 GPU, but CUDA does not detect the card. Graphics work fine, including OpenGL, but when I run deviceQuery, all I get is:

CUDA Device Query (Runtime API) version (CUDART static linking)

There is 1 device supporting CUDA

Device 0: "Device Emulation (CPU)"

  CUDA Driver Version:						   2.30

  CUDA Runtime Version:						  2.30

  CUDA Capability Major revision number:		 1

Test PASSED

Press ENTER to exit...

I am running Ubuntu 9.04.

The card is listed in “lspci” as

20:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0a65 (rev a2)

I checked the permissions of /dev/nv* and they are both 666. I even tried changing the owner to my user, but that did not help either.

Any ideas on what the problem is or how to debug it?

Thanks,

JD

Hi,

did you solve you problem?
I have the same problem with GTX285 on Debian 2.6.32-5 (Squeeze).
My driver is also installed:
2:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 285] (rev a1)
I have to add that i am running the machine without superuser rights.

Thanks,

That doesn’t mean that the driver is loaded. It just means the card has been enumerated on the PCI express bus and the version of pciutils you are using knows the PCI ID string of the card. Whether the driver is installed or working will have no effect on that output whatsoever.

What driver version are you using and where did you install it from? Are you running X11 on this box or not?
