When I have the nvidia drivers 190.42 installed, BOINC does not detect the GPU. It does detect the GPU when I have the 185.18.36 drivers installed though. I am running 64 bit linux, anyone else having this issue?

Which Linux?
Is libcuda.so installed on your system with the 190.42 drivers?

Ubuntu 9.10. It is detecting the GPU's with the 185.18.36 drivers. Let me install the 190.42 drivers and I'll get back to you about libcuda.so

After reinstalling 190.42, libcuda.so shows up, and of course now BOINC will detect the GPU's. Still very strange that it is working now, but didn't before when I installed the 190.42 drivers. Another issue might have been the kernel I was using. I was using a custom 2.6.31.5 kernel before when it wasn't working, and just updated to 2.6.31.6.

If I get some free time I will try to zero in on the cause, but it is working now.

Yes. I'm having the no GPU on Windows 7 64bit with NVIDIA v191.07 driver as well.

Make sure you didn't install BOINC as a service (protected application execution), as that will not detect the GPU. See here as to why that is.
