I use two cgminer, one for BTC (-d 0), the other for LTC (-d 1,-d 2) .
Thanks I will give this a try. I thought 2 instances of cg miner might work. Just been lazy and wanted confirmation before I really attempted anything.

Let me ask you something, you eat your soup and your desert at the same time? Why would you choose to do this? I mean you can do like, 12h bitcoin, 12h litecoin, simple, and your resources are dedicated in that time for 1 currency:P
he's using FPGA for SHA256 and his GPU for scrypt.Yes this is the correct setup.

Is it possible to setup a system using xubuntu and mine bitcoins using bfl's FPGA and then using the host to mine litecoins at the same time?
My current host system is very sketchy and I am planning to setup some litecoin rigs. I was wondering if it's possible to use the litecoin rigs as the host for the FPGAs, then use the host to mine sepeartly for litecoin. I hope there are not software issues regarding this. Does anyone have experience doing this?

The easiest way I can think of would be to launch two instances of cgminer. Configure one to use the FPGAs for Bitcoin, the other to use your GPUs for Litecoin. There shouldn't be any driver/software issues.

Use your GPU miner litecoin.
The bitstream in FPGa need re-programmed, because liteoin use different algorithem(sha256+salsa).
Currently there are 2-3 teams work on FPGA developemnt, but all not ready.
