The problem with this though is you can load one version of the graphics driver and get Abaqus working but Ansys crashes, or you can load a different version and Ansys works but Abaqus crashes (the whole machine)

Is it possible for you to take up with the Vendors and come up with a graphics card and driver that both support at the same version. We do have some test hardware available in the test build room (A T7400 from stores and possibly some other kit)

If not we may have to look at offering them a selection of kernels to boot from with different kernel module drivers to run different apps.
Ok so build A crashes app A
so build B is ok with a app A but crashes the whole system with app B.


I thought linux was supposed to be app friendly. this sounds very windows like.

Anyone running Abaqus and Ansys with a quattro 4800 graphic card?
