See now why would you want a self moderated topic when you can have trolls coming in making the thread so much more fun?

cgminer supports Cairnsmore1 HashVoodoo dynamic frequency changing?
April 08, 2013, 09:32:45 PM
On linux how can I make it so that each instance of cgminer (I'm using one per GPU) does not bully the other instances into changing their values such as gpu-memclock and im assuming gpu-engine?
It seems even when specifying -d n and --remove-disabled, when spawning a second instance of cgminer with gpu-memclock and I'm assuming gpu-engine , the second instance will tell the first to change its settings as well. However the --auto-fan seems to be working fine and only controls one GPU.
This is using 11.11 drivers, 2.11.3a binaries and 2.5 app sdk. On further inspection it seems like even if I specify to change the clock in one instance and select the GPU the instance is running, the other instances will change their clocks aswell.

I must be blind then if it is there because I did read the readme before I posted. So I still don't know
Yes you are blind.is there an api call that resets stats/shares? same thing as pushing "d" than "z". If not can you add one?
API-READMEI'll waste my time reading it for you even ...
Wrote 3 months ago - committed into the main git over a month ago ...
zero|Which,true/false (*)
none There is no reply section just the STATUS section
stating that the zero, and optional summary, was done
If Which='all', all normal cgminer and API statistics
will be zeroed other than the numbers displayed by the
usbstats and stats commands
If Which='bestshare', only the 'Best Share' values
are zeroed for each pool and the global 'Best Share'
The true/false option determines if a full summary is
shown on the cgminer display like is normally displayed
on exit.
----------
API V1.24 (cgminer v2.11.0)
Added API commands:
'zero'
Modified API commands:
'pools' - add 'Best Share'
'devs' and 'pga' - add 'No Device' for PGAs if MMQ or BFL compiled
'stats' - add pool: 'Net Bytes Sent', 'Net Bytes Recv'

Would it be possible to set the upper difficulty limit for Stratum in the client?
E.g. while mining Litecoins on ltcmine.ru I sometimes get a very high difficulty. The result in cgminer is that I only see something like this:
[2013-04-08 03:08:26] Stratum from pool 0 detected new block
[2013-04-08 03:08:48] Stratum from pool 0 detected new block
[2013-04-08 03:09:04] Stratum from pool 0 detected new block
[2013-04-08 03:09:43] Stratum from pool 0 detected new block
No accepted, no rejected - only new block messages.

I've solved my problem adding

Good to see - I guess you read the README Code:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

i do not understand how to run cgminer.c in the terminal. i get permission denied and when checked to run as executing file as program then i get a bunch of errors including "syntax error near unexpected token" and "adl.c command not found"
i cd to the dir and ./cgminer
how am i suppose to run this?

There is a README file in the directory that you need to read. You have much to learn young grasshoppa.
thanks for the tip Viceroy but i have read it... the only cgminer i find is cgminer.c and it does accept commands as the documentation suggests.

Hello
i have a small problem with my CG miner.
My System: ASRock Z77 Pro4-M
Intel i5 3570K
XFX HD7950
Win7 64 Bit
AMD APP SDK 2.8
Cataclyst Driver 13.1
Following Issue: I want to use this PC also as an office workstation. Therefore I don't want mining to cause an input lag on the screen. My idea was to work over the IGP of the CPU while mining with the GPU. No I set the onboard Grapics as primary grapicsadapter in bios, but after booting the cgminer only detects the slow onboardgraphicsport. I also used a dummy plug for the 7950 to imitate a second monitor. What am I doing wrong?
Best Regards
KJ

USB does, yes. But not the devices in question.
If that's the case, then I suppose I see no real benefit to using libusb either.
...
Another is the usb API stats
All devices have statistics recorded about all I/O to them, including the initial control transfers that the serial-USB code doesn't even know about
Yes, this is made possible using libusb. Too bad it's completely useless.All devices have statistics recorded about all I/O to them, including the initial control transfers that the serial-USB code doesn't even know about
So he's been hashing away on a BFL SC for how many days now? Edit: 6 or 7 days!
And ... the latest problem has been a supposed 500ms latency issue with I/O
Pity they chose the crappy miner code to test all this on - coz cgminer (my USB statistics) already reports all this through the API on a per command level. Min, Max, Total, Count ... (average = Total/Count of course)
So I guess they would have known about this how many days ago if they were testing with cgminer instead of the 30 year old crap code used in the crap clone?

Sorry - I'm no good at teaching people to read - especially when they don't bother to read the README ...
Who knows what else you've (not) done 
Code:
To configure multiple displays on linux you need to configure your Xorg cleanly
to use them all:
sudo aticonfig --adapter=all -f --initial
Lastest ubuntus don't need xorg.conf
Does this recipe applies anyway?
