Actually we are :-) Right as I am typing this, Eric and I seem to have found the reason for the remaining problem. It might take another week 'till the Apps are finally ready for release, but we don't just sit and wait...

E@H screensaver not working on Ati cards?

We are not fully sure yet. We seem to have found the check into the cvs which introduced the problem , but a lot of files have been modified at that time. I right now suspect a certain piece of code (three lines) which I think finally causes some heap corruption, but that's hard to track and probably even harder to fix.

In any case that's a problem that is not limited to ATI graphics cards anymoe (this one apprently has indeed been fixed by Rom), but is still in the boinc code, preventing us from building new Apps. I see it even more frequently on a machine with an NVidia.
