Thanks for the info Michael.

Will see how long it takes. Estimated time of completion in BOINC is about 30 hours as of now (25% after 10 hours).

Talking about runtimes and me crunching my first NVidia wu for GPUGRID, how long will it take for my XFX 9600GT 512MB to finish the wu? It has run now for almost 9 hours, progress showing 22% now. Other projects are running on the CPU (POEM@Home and WCG).

Check this link, might have to do something with rights as Rabinovitch states:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=56183

Tried Rabinovitch his solution and works here for Ubuntu 9.10, BOINC 6.10.17 from getdeb.net and NVidia GeForece 9600GT 512MB

I think the important part is:
--begin--
ls -lh /dev/nv*

crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 0 2009-11-17 19:50 /dev/nvidia0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 255 2009-11-17 19:50 /dev/nvidiactl

and the user id for the Boinc process is a member of the video group.
--end--

For me it's:
$ ls -lh /dev/nv*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 0 2010-01-03 14:27 /dev/nvidia0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 2010-01-03 14:27 /dev/nvidiactl

Will have to find out how to fix it.

Edit: followed the steps of Ingvar here: http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=1384&nowrap=true#12732

Now BOINC finds my GPU again. Hope it stays that way :)
