Hello,

Just installed a new Fedora Server 23 with a GEFORCE GTX 750Ti for use with BOINC. But it does not seem like boinc will use it.

All instructions I have found tell me to install "xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs" and "xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686", but when trying to do a dnf on this, they are not available:

# dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
Last metadata expiration check performed 0:18:36 ago on Sun Mar  6 15:05:37 2016.
No package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs available.
No package xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 available.
Error: Unable to find a match.


Any suggestions how to make this card usable for boinc?

BTW, "Your computers" on seti says:

AuthenticAMD
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor [Family 21 Model 2 Stepping 0]
(8 processors) 	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (2047MB) OpenCL: 1.2


So it seems to be aware of the GPU.

Seti still doesn't have a native Nvidia GPU application for Multibeam. It only has one for Astropulse and that is not always being split. You can check the current applications at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/apps.php.

As for the current status of the Nvidia GPU application, read http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=78881.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure what to get out of the thread you asked me to read, but I have a suspicion that I'm not able to use the GPU on my installation... but maybe in the future?
