Topic: Linux only recognizing one card (Read 1119 times)
thanks, i've been googling and working on it for a few days and haven't had any luck. i'll try the mining support forum since I'm allowed to post there now
There are various ways to make it work, but I don't know much about it because I don't have any monitors attached to my Linux miners. You can try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
Or Google for other alternatives.

i'm not sure if this makes a difference but on when i have the two displays on and they aren't cloning each other (multi-desktop setting in amdcccle) there's no background.
this is the issue i seem to be having:
I can clone displays(single desktop), in which case both GPU's work for mining. this is the xorg.conf for that:
I can have a multi-desktop (xinerama still disabled). but only one GPU is seen by the miner. Here's the xorg.conf for the this scenario:

what i would like to be able to do is have a multi-desktop (2 monitors where I can drag windows between them, not cloned) and have the miner recognize both GPUs. i'm willing to try anything guys. thanks!

what i would like to be able to do is have a multi-desktop (2 monitors where I can drag windows between them, not cloned) and have the miner recognize both GPUs. i'm willing to try anything guys. thanks!
OK that worked. but now i can't use 2 displays. I want the "big desktop" thing. how do i do that without xinerama?
Try removing
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "Xinerama" "on"
EndSection
and if that doesn't work, try removing or renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf and run aticonfig --initial --adapter=all --force
Also, what does
echo $DISPLAY
say?
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "Xinerama" "on"
EndSection
and if that doesn't work, try removing or renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf and run aticonfig --initial --adapter=all --force

i wanted to mention i've also got DISPLAY=:0 in my bashrc
i did that a bunch of times and it didnt fix it. i have one monitor plugged on each card and they both work
It sounds like X isn't running on the second adapter, do 'aticonfig --initial -adapter=all' and then reboot.
I followed this guide: http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7514.0
aticonfig shows both of my cards.
$ aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all
Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
Core (MHz) Memory (MHz)
Current Clocks : 800 1000
Current Peak : 800 1000
Configurable Peak Range : [800-1200] [1000-1500]
GPU load : 0%
Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
Core (MHz) Memory (MHz)
Current Clocks : 400 1200
Current Peak : 860 1200
Configurable Peak Range : [600-960] [1200-1445]
GPU load : 0%
but when i run phoenix (using poclbm) it only lists my cpu and my adapter 0 card. it doesn't have show my other device. any help?
