Hmmm ... seems to be running @460MH/s on my 7970 now
all I did was to take commandline stuff out and put it in the cgminer.conf file
and reduced the lookup-gap to 1
Copy of cgminer.conf :
{"pools" : [ {"url" : "localhost:9432", "user" : "User", "pass" : "Pass"}],
"lookup-gap" : "1",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}

Setup: Debian|experimental fglrx etc ver 13.11-beta6 AMD64
wget https://litecoin.org/downloads/linux/litecoin-0.8.5.1-linux.tar.xz
wget -c www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd-catalyst-13.11-beta6-linux-x86.x86_64.zip
(this doesn't work for me because AMD's javascript wants a popup YMMV)
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.1/cgminer-3.1.1.tar.bz2

Installed all ok, cgminer reports scrypt is enabled, ASIC stuff is disabled.

Everthing seems to work, including mining bitcoin on the GPU, until I try to mine Litecoin.
I finally got my cgminer.conf into sort of working after I figured out that it is VERY sensitive
to whitespace around the trailing "}], in the "pools" setting.

sometimes cgminer just throws a segmentation fault, but this is the latest output:

I will have another hack at this - any advice is welcomed.

no dice. Heres the code, I'm currently using:

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://www.lite.coin-pool.com:8339 -u sweetrevenge.1 -p x --no-submit-stale --intensity 10 --thread-concurrency 8000 --worksize 256 -g 1

I have no idea what the problem could be

Get rid of the "C:\cgminer-3.5.1> from the batch file, and run the batch file from the same directory as your cgminer.  Hopefully that works for you.

Hello all, I downloaded cgminer 3.6.0 and 3.5.1 and am trying to run a .bat file to mine from lite.coin-pool.com, but I keep getting this error message

"C:\cgminer-3.5.1>cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://www.lite.coin-pool.com:8339 -u sweetrevenge.1 -p x --no-submit-stale -- intensity 10 --thread-concurrency 8000 --worksize 256 -1
'cgminer.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

Anyone have any insights?
