Can you run other aticonfig commands against all 3 cards? I.e.
Code:
aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt
aitconfig --adapter=all --odgc
etc...

I wrote my own detection script for smartcoin - you can download the smartcoin_devices.py from svn (http://code.google.com/p/smartcoin/source/browse/branches/beta1/smartcoin/smartcoin_devices.py),
.  It would be interesting if it sees all 3 cards, as it uses pyopencl directly if you wanted to download and run it.

I have personally seen CPU devices improperly identified as an opencl GPU device, so perhaps you're getting the same thing, just in reverse?

Update your bios or read your mobo manual there might be a restriction concerning more than 2 gpus.

catalyst/sdk versions?
dummy-plugs?

Might want to test
Code:
aticonfig --initial --adapter=all -f


Its Linux, so, I guess, no dummy plugs required right?


Catalyst 11.5, .6, .7 with SDK 2.4

and the aticonfig --initial --adapter=all -f was executed

Guys, interesting problem here.


I have one motherboard with 3 pci-e slots, 2 x16 and 1 x4 and 2 XFX 5850 and 1 Sappire 5850 Xtreme...


Mining with 1 GPU in the x4 slot works perfectly, mhash's stays same as mining with x16 slots...


But I'm having trouble to mining with the 3 GPUs at the same time.. poclbm and phoenix doesn't recognize 3 GPUs... (didn't try other miners, but I prefer one of these)...


I've installed a fresh install of ubuntu, and linuxcoin, and in the aticonfig --list-adapters I get 3 adapters, 3 hd series, but when I open the miners, only 2 (or sometimes 1) appers, and the CPU...


what could it be?

PSU can handle them btw
