Thanks for the reply. I figured it out. Turns out its an NVIDIA issue. I had to edit several files to get the make to work.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/540171I have yet to order the ATI card. Right now I am running a GeForce 9500. Hash rate is terrible.
The only problem I am having now is that the CPU usage is through the roof. Its not maxed out, but all 3 cores are around 75%, which is pretty high. I thought the GPU was doing all the work here? GPU temp is 65 (what is safe?), so its obviously working.
65C is ok. I try to keep mine as close to 70C as possible. The general consensus I found was definitely keep it below 80C.
I forget where I read it, but apparently nvidia's implementation of OpenCL is using the processor, not just the GPU.
