Fedora 14 and Nvidia 460 Fermi

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
