Well, don't run boinc run classic. What the hell, I'll give it a shot. This screen saver running all the time has added about four hours to the unit.

I gave up with 'screen savers' a long time ago. They only get a viewing now for the sake of 'demos'. Hell, there's already enough 'eye candy' being shown off on a bog standard Linux KDE desktop, and that's /before/ any visual settings tweaks! Why would you want more!!

I guess I've already seen too much fancy display stuff and more for analysing data. A nice blank screen with the CPU running 99.99% on crunching something useful is much more satisfying than silly colouring of pixels.

Good luck with boinc.

I don't know about the graphics stuff but the CLI (command line) version works fine 'as is' or run as a daemon. Even better still you can now crunch faster with the CPU optimised clients.
