Hi,

I've installed Boinc 6.2.15 on my mobile pc (HP nx6310), which has Centos 5 installed on.
The graphic card is Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03).

I used Boinc 5 untill now.

Now, with new Boinc version, the "show graphics" button is not available.

What happens? What can I do?

Thanks.

Please read the FAQ file, which is linked from the same page as the Download BOINC button, on this site.
It explains about graphics with version 6.

It explains about graphics with version 6.

Well... it explains it from a Windows point of view. Isn't CentOS a Linux derivation? So I am not so sure it's the same. No further help from me either, though, as I am not experienced in Linux and graphics.

Did you have graphics in BOINC 5?

FWIW, yes, CentOS is a Linux distro. Red Hat based, if I'm not mistaken.

As to why there's no graphics, how did you install BOINC? From the package manager or by hand in some way, shape or form?
