linux miner problem

I have been reading a thread in a different topic (which I can't post to) but some guy has the same problem as me running the poclbm miner:

When you have this problem, you should check /etc/OpenCL/vendors/amdocl32.icd - this file should exist and contain the string "libamdocl32.so"
(for a 64-bit system, replace 32 with 64).

However am I right in thinking that this would only apply to ati graphics cards? I have an nvidia card and in that directory I have a file called nvidia.icd containing libcuda.so. Is this correct?

aha I have found the problem: my card does not appear in the compatibility list! https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_Hardware_Comparison

nvm

what card was it?

what card was it?

7600GT

$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a1)

I am now successfully running it on windows on my main box on my 9800GT via GUIMiner - although I am getting once cpu maxed out on poclbm.exe which doesn't seem right.

Try my CUDA miner mod on linux (0% CPU) :

You can always look here to see what nVidia cards support CUDA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#Supported_GPUs
