Nothing I can do will make GPU hardware acceleration work

[duked...@gmail.com]

I've spent days trying to get GPU hardware acceleration working without success.

I do this on Amazon EC2 GPU instances and have also tried on Google GPU instances.

I've built at least 50 machines trying various configs trying to make it work without success.

Here's a transcript of the final try to configure a machine to make it work.

Is there anybody who has made GPU acceleration work - if yes, could you please provide the steps required to configure a machine to make it work.

thanks
