Well, I never figured out what exactly was wrong but I simply reinstalled everything from scratch starting with the O.S. and I made sure to get all the updates BEFORE I then started installing ATI drivers and SDK, etc. and I am now able to overclock once again Smiley

I do thank you guys who tried to help me out with this!

maybe

mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak ; aticonfig --initial ; aticonfig --odsc=699,994

?

Thanks again for the help.  I tried this but same result.  I rebooted after the aticonfig --initial but it still didn't help. (nor did my original values of 700,993 or many other combo's that *should* be valid.  Really annoying issue!

I may just re-install this box fresh, do all the updates in Ubuntu and THEN reapply all the drivers and miners and see if that "fixes" it....sucks to resort to this though.  First....I'll go bbq a steak and hope someone comes up with a great idea! Smiley lol.

Did you lose 10khash/sec or 10Mhash/sec?!

10khash/sec would hardly be noticeable.

Yes, sorry it is 10Mh/s ..you are right I wouldn't probably have noticed or cared otherwise Wink

aticonfig --adapter=0 --odsc=700,993

will set you free


Code:
$ aticonfig --adapter=0 --odsc=700,993
ERROR - Set clocks failed for Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series    
        Please check that input values were valid
]

Thanks for trying.  I had never thought to try with the equals sign but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.

Try
aticonfig --od-setclock=700,993

Code:
$ aticonfig --od-setclock=700,993
ERROR - Set clocks failed for Default Adapter - ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series

I've been running ubuntu 10.10 x64 with a single HD 4850 the poclbm miner for a couple month's now and I just realized that my overclocking is no longer working (probably due to some recent updates).  I've lost about 10Mh/s and I can't seem to figure out WHY.  Any help would be appreciated.  I don't really know what else to look for to isolate the problem but here's what I have checked so far:

I have also tried $ aticonfig --odsc 700,993 --adapter=0 and various other clocking settings 700,1000 or 700, 1100 or 625,993

The thing is that 700,993 worked fine for a couple months :/  and my limited knowledge of this setup doesn't make clear to me where the problem is.

I'm offering 10 BTC to the good fellow who can get me back to overclocking my little miner Smiley

Thanks,
