2) Message boards : BOINC Manager : still ... graphically challenged (Message 13287) Posted 25 Oct 2007 by phtimo Post: damn it Kate .. it worked .. this is either a good or a really bad news ! good news : it's rather easy to reproduce ? someone should be able to do that and fix this silly bug ? bad news : in my paranoid corporate world, I am REQUIRED to have a password on resume for my screensaver .. what's your feeling ? (not on the corporate world, on the bug :)

3) Message boards : BOINC Manager : still ... graphically challenged (Message 13284) Posted 25 Oct 2007 by phtimo Post: nope, but that's and easy test. let me try and get back to you (note : it would be a bummer !)

4) Message boards : BOINC Manager : still ... graphically challenged (Message 13280) Posted 25 Oct 2007 by phtimo Post: yes, slow DB hi Kath so we meet again :) OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600 LENOVO t60/System Model 8741W3Y ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 Yes DISPLAY 8.383.1.1000 6/21/2007 OpenGL Version 6.14.10.6479 (this is the latest openGL driver !!) yes, password on resume. funky thing still to me, is that when a task is running and I click show graphics it DOES display a graphic.. but then when the screensaver kicks in it goes to the default (?) boinc logo and text stats on the current running task. is there a display graphic hidden parameter that I have inadvertently turned off in my profile maybe ?????? cheers (thanks for picking up)

6) Message boards : BOINC Manager : still ... graphically challenged (Message 13227) Posted 23 Oct 2007 by phtimo Post: forgot to add that Show Graphics works !! so it's not a driver problem boinc starts after 2 minute comp iddle and screensaver starts after 4 minutes

7) Message boards : BOINC Manager : still ... graphically challenged (Message 13226) Posted 23 Oct 2007 by phtimo Post: hi guys remember me ? you had me change version, update drivers, talk to boinc specialist via skype .. I am now using 5.10.26 (10.20 was not better for me) and I am still not displaying any graphs for SETI or ClimatePred or Einsten (which is down ?) .. only thing I show when the screensaver kicks off is a ugly ;) BOINC screen with statistics on project progress .... I want my fancy Seti columns back .. or the crazy Climate Earth or the reverse milky way from Einstein .. thanks

9) Message boards : BOINC Manager : graphically blind (Message 10172) Posted 10 May 2007 by phtimo Post: hey I wonder if I would get an answer to my problem if I would post the question on one of the Lost website ? maybe in the theory board on flight815 ?? what do you think ? oh btw, I am at version 5.9.9 and well, I am still in the valley of darkness. thanks

10) Message boards : BOINC Manager : graphically blind (Message 9464) Posted 9 Apr 2007 by phtimo Post: MOTD since you guys are obviously dying to know what my problem is, I never miss an opportunity to bring a little more information. so here we go for this week : beta version 5.9.3 => same problem. no graphics. cheers

11) Message boards : BOINC Manager : graphically blind (Message 9150) Posted 27 Mar 2007 by phtimo Post: hi all I checked this one already and it did not shed any light ... still crunching in the dark... cheers

12) Message boards : BOINC Manager : graphically blind (Message 9136) Posted 26 Mar 2007 by phtimo Post: I do not mind at all, I'll wait for your update .. thank you Jord.

13) Message boards : BOINC Manager : graphically blind (Message 9039) Posted 23 Mar 2007 by phtimo Post: no, it's not a winner ... same thing. If you guys are looking for dark matter ... I'm telling you, I found it, it's on my screen :-)

14) Message boards : BOINC Manager : graphically blind (Message 9037) Posted 23 Mar 2007 by phtimo Post: Jord, I am updating DirectX (only component I had not upgraded so far :) as we speak. answer to your question : - single user install. - yes and yes (yes, I wait and yes I do know the graphic windows sometimes appears as the small dos like window at the bottom of your screen) I update this msg after DirectX upg. thx

15) Message boards : BOINC Manager : graphically blind (Message 9031) Posted 23 Mar 2007 by phtimo Post: Climateprediction, Einstein and Seti. the show graphics for the running task will usually work (I say usually b/c sometimes it's just no doing squat). thanks for your advice :-) .. sounds a bit like a tech support talking to a mentally impaired user though.

16) Message boards : BOINC Manager : graphically blind (Message 8964) Posted 21 Mar 2007 by phtimo Post: hi I have been running boinc w/o being able to display any graphics since I started used my new IBM/T60 laptop. I am now using 5.8.15 but it was the same issue for 5.8.11 and 5.8.16. I have a single user install, when I upgrade, I first remove (via add/remove programs) and a couple times I also went as far as renaming the boinc folder. note that I have been a Seti then boinc user for a couple years now so I am not a complete idiot with this. I was running fine on my previous laptop and the ONLY thing which has changed is well, just that. the Laptop. I have the latest LENOVO/ATI display driver and it does support openGL. what else ? it's frustrating to crunch the numbers in a blank screen. sometimes, I have the boinc logo bouncing around with the project(s) percentage but nothing else. any idea ? thank you
