Morning all. There will be another quick release in succession as there is a problem with keeping up with slow responding pools when you have mutli-gigahash machines.

The latest version keeps crashing immediately on me.
Running win7 64 bit.....dual xeons.....3x 7970
Anyone else having problems? Suggestions?

win 7 64 bit (just one 6870) here, 2.3.5, no probs.
re download and install clean (ie new directory)?

Con,
I'm using cgminer on Windows with 8 GPUs. Stupid question, but how can I scroll up when I list all my GPUs?

Can't you go to properties, Layout and increase the Window Size Height?
Sam
That's possible, but showing all GPUs is 'longer' than my screen allows
Use a smaller font?
Buy a bigger screen?
I think there's a bug in the API which I want to confirm from within cgminer...
OK ...

I have cat 12.3 (this is a gaming system) and probobly sdk 2.6 (dont worry about the removal, I've done it before)
so:
Uninstall SDK 2.6...
(Reboot?1)
Install SDK 2.4 (i have 2 6870's so i assume this or 2.1 would be the best)
(Reboot?2)
Compile the .bin
Uninstall SDK 2.4
(Reboot?3)
install SDK most recent
(Reboot?4)
Enjoy!

Why on the final bolded. The ONLY thing SDK is used for is to compile openCL kernels. Nothing else. So why would you want to install an SDK you know results in poor performance if/when you ever need to compile kernels again?
To answer your other question yes 2.4 is likely the best. I haven't seen any performance difference between 2.4 & 2.5 so likely either one works that being said I use 2.4 because it works and there is no reason to mess with what works.

Use the API and a web monitor for more advanced display?

Oh, OK my next suggestions were going to be turn the monitor sideways and squint.
Not a very productive suggestion, probably. I have been wondering why CGMiner can't scroll like Phoenix can, probably has something to do with the variable status's at the top of the screen as opposed to the last line at the bottom.

99.9% sure that, That is what it did, Is it possible to use the kernal i saved from 2.1.2 for 2.3.3 Or must i go install old drivers, Complie a .bin, Save it, Install new drivers again, Replace the .bin like i've done before
Maybe. Try and find out. There are some incompatibilities between drivers but generally they "play nice".
Also driver =/= SDK.
AMD package installs them together but you can install/uninstall just the SDK.
So you can install the latest driver and SDK 2.4 for example.
On a new install just make sure to ONLY install the driver you want and then ONLY install the SDK you want.
The one exception is SDK 2.6 which is broken and an ass to uninstall completely. There is a thread about it somewhere. Another option is I think conman has compiled kernels (bin files) on a server somewhere.
Well the .bin files do not work with difffernt miner versions, *sigh* I'll wait a few more years before i uninstalled all my drivers, Install old ones, install old sdk, Reboot, run cgminer, Save bin, Uninstall drivers, Reboot, Install new drivers, reboot, TEST
No need to install old drivers.
bin = performance = SDK.
Install SDK ver w/ good performance.
Install DRIVER ver (ONLY DRIVER) you wish to use.
Done.
i.e.
clean isntall
install driver 11.11 (DRIVER ONLY)
install SDK v 2.4 (SDK ONLY)
install latest cgminer

I'm nearly sure on Windows switching OpenCL Runtime versions is as simple as placing the amdocl.dll you want to use into the CGMINER root.

What's the theory of operation of the Utility now? Prior versions it was the overall average. Now it appears to an instantaneous or a small time period average.

Great work Con and my goffset mod for diakgcn also works .
Edit: One small glitch, after pressing Q and a succesful shutdown on Windows at the end is this line here
Could there be an overwritten char * buffer or sth. like that?

This looks like two threads are writing to the console at the same time, interleaving their characters
So it's probably harmless, just a logging annoyance...
Judging from the garbage you posted, the original messages seem to have been:
Code:
[2012-04-28 10:55:20] longpoll
Code:
Shutdown signal received.
I can clearly see how you got the answer!
Now I can make sense of it also when I'm windows testing
(I always thought it might be windows printf's fault with variable sizes - but that clearly shows it isn't)
Yeah curses on windows is ... well ... 'nuff said.

- Add pool number to stale share message.
Now I get it AND feel stupid! Oh well, I bet I don't have to bring that issue I saw up again after this update whether it was the bug you found or not.
