Detection of Nvidia GPU with Optimus Technology

Description

I am on Linux Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. I installed BOINC 7.0.27 from the official package repository of Ubuntu. I have a Nvidia GT540M with Optimus Technology[1] on my system along with an Intel HD Graphics accelerator. This is the output of the |lspci | grep VGA| command :

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 GT 540M? (rev ff)

I am currently using Bumblebee[2] for doing the switching between the two GPU's for my general purposes.

My BOINC Manager does not detect any GPU's in the system and hence I can't utilize my GPU for the computations even though I have CUDA support and the necessary SDK installed.

I would love to provide any other information as required. Thanks in advance.

Setting to wontfix. Not a Berkeley BOINC version.
User is getting help through his BOINC forums thread on the same subject.
