Boinc + Linux + GPU = pain

[dan]

There is too much advice on how to do this and most won't work in your setup.

I ended up finding how to do it with "yum install kmod_nividia????". I had to rblacklist the nouveau drivers in grub.conf. Then had to make sure boinc had enough time after boot up to recognize the drivers by adding "sleep 6" to /etc/init.d/boinc_client. Then had to make sure it had access to the display drivers, so added boinc to the video group and added "xhost +" to the boinc_client script (not sure this was necessary). Then SELinux kept giving me failures, and all the fixes I found didn't work. Then I discovered others that never go SELinux to work, so I then modified /etc/selinux/config to make SELinux run in passive mode and it all worked.

Do not start with the drivers provided by Nividia this I eventually figured out how to work, but yum is the faster way.

I did install the Nividia toolkit, another pain (not sure it was needed).
