gpu2 complains about my 5870 not being supported or needing a driver, i'm running 10.2 or 10.3a

Try adding the following flag to the Client shortcut: -forcegpu ati_r700

Have you extended the desktop to the second card?

Also, rename the AMDCALxx.DLL files in the folding directory to AMDCALxx.BAK, and restart the client with the flag shaw mentioned.

This will force the folding client to use the Catalyst provided AMDCALxx.DLL files. If using Windows 7 you should right-click the folding@home binary and run it in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2.

That should do it.

Don't use the shortcut that Stanfords installer creates. Create a new one and add -forcegpu ati_r700 to the command line

I don't see an amdCAlxx.dlls in my folding at home gpu directory, forcing it didn't work either, although it runs for about 5 seconds.

They're hidden in...

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Folding@home-gpu\

In Vista and Win7 probably somewhere under Documents and Settings under XP
