I am unable to have graphics being displayed for the GPU's CUDA workunits, is this a problem?

I believe graphics are disabled for CUDA work. After all the GPU is busy crunching. So not a problem.

You won't get Graphics on the CUDA WU's because you are using the GPU to process the WU. Asking BOINC to run a screensaver on the same GPU would defeat the purpose of running on the GPU.
