    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>

              <p>Hi MestreLion, I think this is the right place to

              <p>Unfortunately you script has a bad behaviour for people
                that DON'T have an usable GPU...</p>

              <p>What do you think about?</p>
              <p>My opinion is that there should a way for giving the
