After spending over an hour trying to figure out why BOINC Manager said <ignore_nvidia_dev>1</ignore_nvidia_dev> was a bad tag, same with the exclude option. The ATI tag works, so I was really scratching my head here. Seems a basic quickie to me, change the nvidia to cuda, buts it's not an obvious fix to a lot of us.

It was:
<ignore_nvidia_dev>N</ignore_nvidia_dev>, <ignore_ati_dev>N</ignore_ati_dev> ignore (don't use) a specific NVIDIA or ATI GPU. You can ignore more than one. New in 6.10.19 Note: use 'ignore_cuda_dev' instead of 'ignore_nvidia_dev' for < 6.13 clients.


I have changed this to:
<ignore_ati_dev>N</ignore_ati_dev>
ignore (don't use) a specific ATI GPU. You can ignore more than one. New in 6.10.19
<ignore_cuda_dev>N</ignore_cuda_dev>
ignore (don't use) a specific NVIDIA GPU. You can ignore more than one. New in 6.10.19 and only to be used till 6.12.41.
<ignore_nvidia_dev>N</ignore_nvidia_dev>
ignore (don't use) a specific NVIDIA GPU. You can ignore more than one. Replaces <ignore_cuda_dev/> New in 6.13.0
Reminder: Zero will disable device zero, it does not disable the line, only removal does. <ignore_nvidia_dev>1</ignore_nvidia_dev> will ignore the use of the second Nvidia GPU in the system.
Before 6.13.0, <ignore_cuda_dev/> was used. <ignore_nvidia_dev> was added to get it more in line with the specific <ignore_ati_dev>.
