ah... that's why it keeps crushing.. because of vnc.. what about remote admin? is it affected too?

Dont know TBH. I gave up on windows once I discovered that linuxcoin has no problems overclocking beyond the hardcoded "safe limits". That was the only reason I tried windows. I think getting rid of CCC is all you need to do, but I havent tested it.

What's the ADL and how do I install it under Windows 7 64bit?

By installing a recent enough version of the Catalyst drivers that has that support. That's why I asked what version you had.

I know that Catalyst 11.6 has that support because that is what I'm using. And I'm using 11.6 because it doesn't have the 100% CPU utilization bug.

So what version are you using?
Sam

Edit: ADL is the ATI display library used for monitoring and setting GPU parameters.

Catalyst 11.9

That version should work fine. Do you get any error messages when starting CG Miner?

No, no error message at all. Cgminer just doesn't show RPM and temperature etc...

When you go into the GPU menu do you have the options to change the clocks and such?

I put your command lines into my miner and it all works fine. But I'm using WinXP and Win7 32 bit and different GPU's of course.
Dunno,
Sam

Beware when using teamviewer/vnc on windows; make sure catalyst isnt running. When I tried it, the GPU would always crash when ending the teamviewer session, the same way it would crash and get horrible corruption if I start cgminer before CCC has loaded.

Good news guys. I just tried upgrading to the ATI 11.11 driver on linux and the CPU usage bug is finally fixed, AND it works with newer xorg 1.11 (in case you're on a very recent distribution, like Archlinux).

How many GPUs?
1 GPU has been fixed since 11.9
2+ GPU was unfixed as of 11.10

If 2+ GPU work in 11.11 that is awesome.

Has anyone tried this on Windoze yet?
Thanks,

Great! (can't wait for it to hit debian testing Tongue

)
With recent versions I've had a huge performance hit when using KDE's 3D capabilities even when not mining. Has that also been fixed, do you know?

Well I'm on KDE and it's much more fluid than it was with catalyst 11.10. So that would be a yes as well.

Great, thanks, now I really can't wait!

I can't see the temperature of each GPU in both Windows and Linux cgminer, am I missing anything?

Are you using SSH and/or remote desktop? If so, yes you are missing something

. For ssh/linux export the display before starting cgminer

Code:

export DISPLAY=:0
./cgminer -with -all -your -options

On windows you will have to use something else as RDP. VNC or teamviewer.

Ah, I'm using RDP... Might that be the problem?

In my experience, RDP won't work for starting GPU mining. VNC will and I assume TeamViewer would, but RDP takes the desktop away from the GPU and the program won't have access to the GPU if it wasn't already using it (RDP to see an existiing mining session / OK, RDP to start a mining session or not OK). However, ck recently posted something implying that dummy plugs aren't even necessary in Windows anymore, and if that is the case, RDP may not prevent cgminer from working. That said, if you can see GPU mining but not temperature, cgminer is talking to teh GPU, so I don't thik that would matter.

Hello,

I'm running cgminer 2.0.8 on Windows 7 64 bit with 4 ATI 6990 cards.

So I lose the output of the first 4 GPUs. Is there a way to scroll up?

Also, why do I not see the fan speed, rpm, etc?

Even if you don't use a batch file you can right-click the window's title bar and edit the properties of the window and make it taller.

As for the last 4 GPUs not showing fan speeds. 6990s have twice as many GPUs as fans and I'm fairly certain that the ATI driver usually list all the primary GPUs before the secondary GPUs? If that's the case, those last 4 GPUs you see don't actually have fans. Now if you fix the window so it shows all the GPUs and none of them have any fan speeds, it's probably an ADL problem like other already mentioned. Just figured I would offer another possible explanation before you spend too much time troubleshooting a non-problem.

I've done this, it also doesn't show for the other GPUs.

I think cgminer is the best mining software, thank you!
