Subject: Re: Fedora 14 and Nvidia 460 Fermi

 

Is that using rpmfusion packages, or nVidia's blob installer? The company I 
work for offers CUDA servers now, and they seem to be running the same nvidia 
driver version I use on my desktop (without CUDA, obviously). It seems the CUDA 
libraries aren't packaged by rpmfusion, but may get installed by the blob 
installer. I would try the nVidia installer from their website, and if that 
works compare the libraries installed to the rpmfusion packages. Find the 
differences and bug rpmfusion packagers to package the extra libraries if 
possible, perhaps as a separate "nvidia-cuda" package?

Hope that helps.

Hello there

 

I just a had a big surprise when I got a shiny new Nvidia 460 GTX for Christmas.

I tried to get the Cuda device working under Fedora 14 x86_64 and there is no 
support out yet for Cuda 3.2

 

All the Video works ok under the Nvidia 260 driver package but getting Cuda to 
work is another thing all together.

 

Has anyone out there had similar problems with this card.

This is one hot damn card and the only real support is with Windows 7 x64

 

I am running Windows now and everything works flawlessly but I miss the 
security under Fedora.

 

I am seeing now that I have to wait for linux drivers and cuda support to 
become available under fedora 14

 

Seti at home is where I am having the real problems under Fedora.

No matter what I do with Cuda 3.2 under Fedora it just errors out all the cuda  
workunits

 

With this card under Windows I get 860 gflops / second computation speed with 
double precision computing.

Under Fedora the speed is cut in half and errors out all the Cuda workunits

 

 

I really miss Fedora

 

Michael

Yes, I installed from the Nvidia website
I also installed the cuda 3.2 toolkit
Like I said Windows is flawless running cuda apps but Fedora 14 and Cuda are not
 
Thanks for the reply Chris
