It is okay, BOINC in Linux doesn't detect driver version (lazy programming).
As for GPU workunits, I think you need a driver with CUDA 3.2 minimum here; if I'm not mistaken.
According to the latest

According to the latest scheduler log your CUDA version is 3.0 and the project requires 4.0 so that seems to be the problem.
Might be that a driver update could help, if it's possible.

Now I get GPU WUs ! :-)
But I'm not sure whether this is good, actually my system freezes for little jobs like opening Firefox. I'll see how it'll going on. Thanks for your help ! :-)

Correction: I installed the NVidia 270.41.19 driver for Cuda 4 and everything works very fine. :-)
My Linux is as quickly as usually and BOINC runs normally, but now with one GPU WU. ;-)
Happy to hear that you got it
