I can't figure out how to enable the SETI screensaver/graphics. It used to work, months ago, but now I never see the screensaver and the graphics button in the manager is greyed out for tasks that are running. I recently installed the latest version of Boinc & there was no change. I also have two different machines with different graphics cards (Nvidia & AMD) and drivers that this occurs on. Any ideas? Have the old graphics just been taken out of the project? |

If you are running work units on the Graphic cards then you will not have the "show Graphic" on the task manager as well as seeing the graphic on the screensaver. The reason is the GPU can't crunch and created the graphic at the same time. You can change your screen saver so it show a progression chart but the classic screensaver only work on CPU work units and if you aren't crunching any on the GPUs. |
