I’m trying to get my Nvidia Geforce GTX 280 working on my GNU/Linux
system (Debian Etch or Ubuntu 8.04/8.10)
My objective is to use it for calculation purpose with CUDA.
Because samples from the CUDA sdk toolkit doesn’t work (memory alocation
in the video card fail), I decided to see if normal installation of the
graphic driver for xorg is working : it doesn’t. (I usually install proprietary drivers
for my differents Nvidia Graphic cards without problems on GNU/Linux
Debian distributions)
Sorry, but for the first post I was not with a 64 bit distribution.
As you can see with this bug report, now I am.
I have tested my graphics card with other hardware, same GNU/Linux Distribution, but with a different motherboard/cpu/memory.
For me it doesn’t work with a bi-AMD Opteron™ Processor 250.
I’ve sucessful tested it on Intel platform.
My problem is : I couldn’t use the graphics card with the SDK, so I try to simple use it with X (without success).
If some one can suggest me a direction to invistigate, thanks you.
