Still working on BAMT...tried the LTC rabbits version of it since that was reported to be good with these cards, but that gives an error "Failed to load X server", or if I use the VGA to connect, it says no GPUs detected... cannot find a download for BAMT 1.1... I think I should give up and go wakeboarding for the day..come back fresh again tonight..lol

I'm uploading the bamt 1.1 image to a filehost. Link will show up when done:
Link: http://goatpc.com/litecoinbamt1.1.zip
I uploaded the stock 1.1 image without any changes, so it's pure and clean. Should work out of the box for you.
However, here's what I do to bring it online for my systems, with some tweaks. Comments in brackets, commands in bold. Should work cut/pasted. I might have a sudo out of place here or there, this is off some scribbled notes, but you get the gist. These steps upgrade you to 3.4.3 cgminer, modifies the BAMT script to use the new cgminer, and sets you up with a handy alias shortcut to see cgminer anytime via ssh. This is all done either via SSH or through Root Terminal. I find SSH easiest.
First: bootup BAMT, setup graphics cards/pools as needed, then proceed:
(1. change the user password)
passwd
(2. new/set root password)
sudo passwd
(3. gogo gadget superuser)
su
(4. new folder for upgraded cgminer)
mkdir /opt/miners/cgminernew
(5. gitclone cgminer)
cd /opt/miners/cgminernew
git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git
cd cgminer
(note: 3.5.0 would segfault on me, so i have been using 3.4.3. the following command pulls 3.4.3 source)
git checkout 891c279
(6. move cgminer files to their new home)
cd..
cp -r cgminer/* /opt/miners/cgminernew
rm -rf cgminer
(7. dependancies, might need these, install if so, upgrade if already exist)
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libtool libncurses5-dev
(8. get adl for cgminer scrypt)
cd /opt/miners/cgminernew/ADL_SDK
wget http://goatpc.com/ADL_SDK_5.0.zip
unzip ADL_SDK_5.0.zip
cp include/* /opt/miners/cgminernew/ADL_SDK
(9. compile cgminer)
cd /opt/miners/cgminernew
./autogen.sh --enable-scrypt
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-scrypt
make
(9b. exit superuser)
exit
(10. cgminer should work, but bamt needs to know how to run it. modify common file for new cgminer)
sudo nano /opt/bamt/common.pl
(11. find startCG procuedre, the 2nd instance. comment out the "my $cmd" by putting a hashtag in front of it. below it, use this new command line below. save/exit when done.)
my $cmd = "cd /opt/miners/cgminernew;/usr/bin/screen -d -m -S cgminer /opt/miners/cgminernew/cgminer $args";
(12. create bash profile script to contain handy shortcuts)
sudo nano /home/user/.bash_profile
(13. paste this inside. add any other shortcuts. save/exit when done.)
alias cgm='sudo screen -x cgminer'
(14. install a more tuned-up tahiti scrypt for 79xx/R9 cards)
cd /opt/miners/cgminernew
sudo rm -rf scrypt130511Tahitiglg2tc24000w256l4.bin
sudo wget http://goatpc.com/scrypt130511Tahitiglg2tc24000w256l4.bin
Now, with this done (presuming no errors), and with your cards/pools and bamt setup (/opt/bamt/bamt.conf & /opt/bamt/cgminer.conf), you should be able to fire up cgminer by using:
sudo mine start
and then, if all goes well, latch onto the cgminer instance by using this command:
cgm

Updated BAMT:
Link to BAMT 1.2 which has cgminer 3.7.2: http://www.goatpc.com/litecoinbamt1.2.zip
- Let me get BAMT working to get the cards up to 750khs.
