Killingg the background process causes driver crash #74

Open Brekcel opened 10 years ago

If you terminate the actual CudaMiner process it will cause your "Display driver" to stop working and your screen will lock up for a few seconds. If you terminate the process by closing the window, not the process, but the window it's being ran in, then it closes fine.

That sounds like an os issue, not something CudaMiner could change. When you close the window, it requests the running app to close before it closes the window, but when you kill the task it forces it to close immediately. CudaMiner can't exit gracefully if it is forced to close immediately, and that's what is fouling up you graphics driver. On Jan 23, 2014 6:42 PM, "sakki54" notifications@github.com wrote:

I'm seeing this same problem, except I can't seem to figure out how to recover it. Running in headless CentOS, so I might be missing some GUI trick to re-enable it.
