Good morning,

we have installed a CUDA workstation and we are done
testing it, but we have some issues with VMD.
I downloaded the binary (LINUX64 CUDA) and apparently
it starts but i see no GPU improvements.
On startup the output tells:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
as you can see we have 2 Tesla GPUs and a Quadro NVS 295 for rendering.
The quadro is set to 'prohibited', but I tried to leave it on too with
no luck.
The driver is 190.53, the CUDA SDK samples run correctly, and I can run
some piece of code I wrote with no problem.
Any suggestion?!

thanks in advance
