[arch-general] a couple foldingathome problems
One of these would be unique, the package is complaining my video drivers aren't up to date. I don't even know what video drivers should be on this machine and haven't got local linux support to clue me in on this one and me being totally blind I don't usually touch or have any interest in video drivers. If the video driver is wrong, will the work done by the computer be rjected by the foldingathome server? The second problem may be effecting all users of the foldingathome package. How good is this package about cleaning up disk space it no longer needs once a completed job gets sent to the server? I have a 120GB drive that's run out of space. This computer runs solid state so the 3tb sata drive wouldn't work in it otherwise this wouldn't be a problem. --

I shouldn't think so. It will want to use your GPU to speed up calculations, It's like running uphill with a 125 CC motorbike. It is possible to do so, it just takes a long time and grinds to a halt halfway up the mountain...
