I'm working with Linux Mint 18.1, using the driver settings with Nvidia.

I have a GTX 1050 Ti (Pascal) and GTX 750 Ti (Maxwell)

The 375 drivers are supposed to recognize both, but don't seem to.


Eventually, I'll want to put the third Nvidia card back in.

When SETI starts, this is in the event log:

Suggests for what to try next are welcome. Mint 18.1 seems a bit better behaved than 17.2 or 18.0,

But I'm not sure what is missing.

All three VGA devices seem to show appropriately.

Found what was missing:

The use_all_gpus setting in the cc_config.xml (/var/lib/boinc-client/cc_config.xml) was missing.

Now I'm using all of my cude cores:
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
