Hello!

I´m running the CUDA multiforcer under Ubuntu 8.10 without problems. While running in a console window at the desktop, it reports

Code: Select all

GPU: 9600GT
Cores: 64
Clock: 1.6 GHz

and everything works as expected.

When I try to run the program in pure console mode (no X), it reports

Code: Select all

GPU: 9600GT
Cores: 128
Clock: 1.26 GHz

and it does NOT work anymore. Error message: Cannot initialize .... blabla

First question: Why are the cores doubled without X?
Second question: How can I make CUDA work in pure console mode?

P.S.: I am dealing with hash computing/cracking a long time, and i have to say that the idea to use parallelized GPU power for this is really, really great.

Hmmm, cannot reproduce the faulty behaviour. Now it runs in pure console and reports the same number of cores as under X. Strange.

Interesting.

What driver revision are you running? It should be the same in both places.

I'm using 64bit Ubuntu 8.10 with nvidia-driver-177.82. I have not downloaded the CUDA stuff mentioned somewhere in the "HowTo". Worked out-of-the-box.

But as I mentioned above, error is not reproduceable, no matter how hard I try.
