do you have tried an 'export DISPLAY=:0" before running the miner?

perhaps any X-Expert knows the missing point in in xorg.conf:

Catalyst Control Center (CCC) -> BIG Desktop but only 1 card active:

sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all

thank you - I have known this and done this xx-times (now I am on xorg.conf.fglrx-64...)
and it was possible at one time to mine with all three adapters (2*5870 and 1*5830)
BUT:
if I change with Catalyst Control Center to dual screen (Big Desktop) on next reboot there is only card 0 active again Angry

I have also tried:
sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial --xinerama=off
sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial --xinerama=on
sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all --dtop=horizontal -v -f
sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all --dtop=horizontal --overlay-on=1 -v -f
sudo aticonfig -f --adapter=all --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left
and a few more combinations but it was not possible to get all three cards working
AND
a Big Desktop on the 2 Monitors (only clone desktop)
I think that aticonfig and Catalyst Control Center are working poorly together, because if I change something with CCC it changes the number of active adapters too...

TIA

Same issue here, running ubuntu 12.04 using a 5970.

Dual head/ Disabled 2nd display
GPU0: 100% GPU1: 0%
So far it seems Dual head & disabled 2nd display results in the second GPU not being available.
ADL and OpenCL do not detect the same amount of GPU's in either of these configurations.

Cloned
GPU0: 100% GPU1: 100%
If I run in cloned mode (with a resistor being a dummy plug), reconfig the xorg.conf using:

Code:

aticonfig -f --adapter=all --initial

Reboot, I get both GPU's working.
ADL and OpenCL detect the same amount of GPU's.

id leave it at this, but unfortunately (from testing so far) I can only set the resolution to 1600x1200 (not the desired 1920x1080).

Current
GPU0: 100% GPU1: 50%
Current I set the cloned mode, then manually edit the resolutions (in xorg.conf), reboot and I I seem to get ~50% hash rate on the 2nd GPU and the 1st works normally.

Its my current compromise since I ended up working way to late on this last night.

Hi all
I have put a new 5830 in PC and made a new xorg.conf but now only card 0 is active:

Code:

aticonfig --lsa
* 0. 0a:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
1. 05:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
2. 04:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series

* - Default adapter

with AMDOverdriveCtrl I see that only card 0 works:

Code:

AMDOverdriveCtrl --help
INF: Nr. of Adapters: 7
INF: Adapter index: 0, active, ID:34225312, ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
INF: Adapter index: 1, active, ID:34225312, ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
INF: Adapter index: 2, inact., ID:34225312, ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
INF: Adapter index: 3, inact., ID:34225312,
INF: Adapter index: 4, inact., ID:34225312,
INF: Adapter index: 5, inact., ID:34225312,
INF: Adapter index: 6, inact., ID:34225312,

how can I activate all adapters (here 3 and 6 because only 0 and 1 are @monitor?

(I have done it with ATI Catalist control center but then my dual screen layout is lost...)

Ubuntu natty
TIA
