Topic: cgminer 3.1 wont start headless? (Read 1137 times)
did you find a way to solve this with software?
Yeah I'm hoping to avoid dummy-plugs, I know there is a software way to do this!
Ram: 8GB, Gskill Ripjaws 1600
I meant cgminer 3.0.1 in the title by the way.

your ram size and brand ?
CGMiner and/or Windows may not recognize the device if nothing is plugged into it. Thankfully, you can either put some resistors into the port itself or make a dummy cable yourself (not hard).

Should have an adapter with any video card, and you can get a large amount of resistors from ebay for 99 cents (like I did a week ago).

Hey everyone. So I recently switched to mining BTC with cgminer from a year or so on phoenix 2.0 because of the built in overclocking and stratum support (whoo)
But I'm having some trouble getting it to start headless. I never was able to get phoenix to do this either but I've heard it's possible with cgminer.
Anways I've been using Windows 7 64-bit forever but if this is going to be a headache I can easily switch to Linux, I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced cgminer getting stuck on "Started cgminer 3.1" until a display is attached, HDMI cable is plugged in, etc...
After that it starts up within 10-15 seconds but until then it just hangs there, maybe I can somehow specify the devices I have in the *.conf so cgminer doesn't have to wait until the AMD drivers report the cards as online? Just speculating, thanks in advance!
