DistRTgen: BOINC is up and running again

Unless this new Donateathome thing holds up. Beats Moo with my 5870's. I know you still have few of these running Bryan. I can't get it to run on my 5970 tho. I'll work on a fix tomorrow. May just be the drivers are a bit old on the 5970.

You certainly could be right, but it won't work for me. I've never been able to put both ATI and Cudas on the same project. The scheduler in BOINC is so stupid it will wind up filling one card or the other over time till it reaches the project maximum and letting the other run dry. It is really frustrating to see the Cuda out of work and BOINC keeps asking for ATI wu or vice versa! I talked to Slicker and he said the problem was with the scheduler.

Updating the drivers did not work. I mentioned this in the other thread as well. Both of my cards are ATI's one is the 5970 which is I.D'd as a 5870 in Boinc and a true 5870. It will not use the gpu or the cpu I even shut down WU & FreeHal. Nothing.
