this guide is pretty useful for over/underclocking.
Thanks, but that requires me to flash the BIOS using DOS or Windows with the risk of bricking my card.
With the Catalyst 11.6 driver AMD allows you to clock outside the BIOS limits directly without any flashing/overwriting of the BIOS, which is preferred by some.

LinuxCoin will be able to overclock / underclock without a bios mod Wink

Awaiting v0.2b eagerly.

Would be great if someone would write a little step-by-step on how to upgrade the catalyst drivers to 11.6 on v0.2a/b so under/overclocking outside the BIOS limits of the cards becomes possible.

Uninstalling and overwriting this driver resulted in one of my cards not being able to mine anymore (the miner wonders if BFI_int can run on the card...) so I clearly messed this up.

I would donate a coin for a complete working step-by-step.

Ok I've finished with those pesky bugs and am now testing linuxcoin Wink My MH's you see in my sig is from linuxcoin 0.2b Cheesy I'm going to leave it running while I pop out and see a man about a dog and if all is well I will be uploading this evening. If you are hosting linuxcoin please PM me and I'll arrange for you to get the ISO before anyone else Wink

LinuxCoin 0.2b test Cheesy

*removed*


And Loki 7281 running linuxcoin Cheesy She's a beast Cheesy Got hit with the ugly stick for sure but a survivor Cheesy



Remember 0.2b is STILL testing lol Sad I know I'm sorry but if you've kept up with my posts you would see I'm facing a mid life crisis atm and wanted to fix linuxcoin up before going incognito for a few weeks Sad Hopefully I will still have a home. I've been selling everything on ebay hahaha Cheesy

i believe the point of start_mining was suppose to make things easier, by requiring less input.
ie: url was stumping me because I would enter the whole url http://btcguild.com:8332/  when really i just needed to enter btcguild.com

if that helps

I screwed up actually cd /opt/miners/pheonix otherwise you'll get file not found or something


./phoenix.py -u http://worker_name:[email protected]:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=1



Thanks man, didn't realize how similiar dos and linux can be.  As for my problem from linuxcoins start mining command, I didn't realize that the URL is different when mining with phoenix.  My stupid mistake. Smiley

Thanks for your help.

Hey can anyone tell me how to run the phoenix miner with linuxcoin.  I can't seem to get it to work.. I figure I'm either doing the flags wrong or the kernel wrong or both.

The polcbm miner works fine, but I want to see if the phoenix miner works better.

I"m talking about using it from the start_mining command

I'm not too familiar with terminal yet so not sure how to get to the file and run it that way, although I do know DOS.  I'll learn in due time.



cd ..
cd ..
cd /opt/miners

then use this
https://www.btcguild.com/how_to_connect.php

just keep in mind that is specific for BTCguild, if you are using a different pool or solo mining(which i highly doubt) then switch url for appropriate one
don't forget your paramaters at the end.

also instead of -k poclbm you can try -k phatk
sometimes it works a little better, thats what i use

Thats linux commands?

Oh sorry I thought you meant 0.2b Cheesy you can install it via synaptic umm I can't remember the name of the package just search remote desktop in synaptic for 0.2a.

i've tried xrdp and tightvncserver

can't get them to work though Sad

never had so much trouble using vnc or rdp before Sad

EDIT:  Bah!! figured it out.  have to put ipaddress:1

however.... this shows me a completely new desktop session.  welcome message/agreement, etc.
when i try to launch my start script all the miners launch, then close before displaying anything and then in the console that i launched from it says...

Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display 1.0


EDIT2:  looks like x11rdp is what I want.  says I can connect to display0.  
will report back after testing

update:  x11vnc works great.  the best part is it doesn't really disturb the performance of the miner like i thought it might, but it uses all cpu which is fine by me.
