[petsc-dev] Getting Richardson output

   Richardson has this "special case where it calls PCApplyRichardson() under certain circumstances (for efficiency) but KSPSolve_Richardson() has the check

  if (exists && maxit > 0 && richardsonP->scale == 1.0 && !ksp->numbermonitors && !ksp->transpose_solve && !nullsp) {

so if monitoring is turned on it should run "the regular way" and call the monitor. I don't think there is any special code associated with its use in multigrid so I would expect it to work. I guess you need to check in the debugger why it is not following the appropriate route.

  Also check that it is not running with preonly which has its own special case.
