Hello, I have laptop Dell XPS l502x and I am using Ubuntu 11.04. I installed nvidia drivers using this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee and Cuda - http://samiux.blogspot.com/2011/05/howto-nvidia-cuda-toolkit-40-on-ubuntu.htmlx . I when I run boinc client it says that:

I have a similar Dell XPS L501X laptop. Under Windows, BOINC has no problem finding and using the GT 420M GPU, even when the active display is set to use the Intel HD graphics chipset.

There is a minor problem with the 'optimus' technology in current Windows versions of BOINC - the client returns "(driver version unknown)". This has been fixed for BOINC v7 (in testing), but didn't prevent CUDA applications from running.
