64bit Kubuntu 12.10, GeForce 9500GT, "empty work" for GPU

[at165db]

Any ideas on how I can enable GPU folding? CPU folding is working fine.

I use _ instead of . in the urls because the forum won't let me post them.

when I launch FAH, I get this log message:

GPU folding is not supported under Linux. There have been some success with the v6 client using Wine but I do not know that it works for v7.

Ah, good to know.

GPU folding for native Linux is on Stanford's "someday" list. There's no reason to suspect it will be available any time soon, but the V7 client is ready whenever the other pieces are put in place.
