OK. I tested with both the generic int10 module from 4.2 and from 4.3 on a 4.3 system. This was with two NVIDIA cards and the nv driver on both heads.
4.2 libint10.a works fine. 4.3 linux/libint10.a works fine. 4.3 libint10.a does not post the card properly. It appears as though there is definitely a regression in the generic libint10.a module between versions 4.2 and 4.3. Mark.
