<p>A different behaviour may have MY ppa's, since so much has changed between .27 and .54, and in my ppas the 5 seconds delay is already there.</p>
<p>So if you use debian and want to try my ppa you are free to use it (if allowed by dpkg, don't know).</p>
<p>Otherwise you can download from alioth pkg boinc the source tree and git-buildpackage it yourself :-)</p>
<p>P.s. the NVIDIA cards are affected too by this bug, but I think the 5 seconds delay almost fixed it for my pc.</p>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I think this bug (1140597) is really a timing issue at boot time. As
this seems to only affect ATI/AMD hardware I think that the drivers
for these cards either get loaded after boinc or they take too long
to load so they are not present when boinc tries to detect GPUs.<br>
<br>
My first try to see if this is correct would be to insert a time
delay in the boinc init script and see if this helps. If boinc can
successfully find the GPU after the delay we need to find the script
that is loading the driver and instruct the boinc init script to
load after this.<br>
<br>
If MestreLion would be so kind to try this out it would be great.
You just need to make some local changes to your init script and
restart your machine. If this is okay for you I will send you a line
to add to your init script.<br>
<br>
@Gianfranco: does the boinc Ubuntu package use the same init script
as the Debian package? I only have a working Debian installation.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Christian<br>

<p>Hi MestreLion, I think this is the right place to
discuss to.</p>
<p>Unfortunately you script has a bad behaviour for people
that DON'T have an usable GPU...</p>
<p>I don't like to restart boinc to everybody just because
the might suffer from bug #1140597</p>
<p>What do you think about?</p>
<p>My opinion is that there should a way for giving the
right order to init scripts, but I don't know at the
moment how to change the script right now...</p>

My C++ skills are a bit rusty, but I may be able to

Also, I've created a script (wrapper for boincmgr)

some of the annoying boinc bugs: not detecting a GPU
