GPU drivers #95

Open jtloper1 opened 8 years ago

jtloper1 commented 8 years ago

When digging through linux_firmware I noticed some GPU drivers. What is the source of those files? I ask because my GPUS do not fole and I want to fry fixing that my supplying the correct nvidia OR ATI DRIVER.

This is the default kernel firmware and note that firmware is different from drivers. At the moment the v7 client branch does not support any GPU drivers (though would welcome a PR to add support!) and so only supports CPU based folding.
