Unable to launch 1.5.3 on windows x64 sp1 too... hm. Rolling back to 1.5.1. It seems to me that the problem is with loading phatk kernel, because it works just fine with poclbm.
I tried w/ both kernels and still crashed =(

Is there a way to set a different username/password for each GPU so I know what's working and what's not from my pool workers page?
Nice edit. 
Glad you figured out your original issue. Regarding this one, you could run separate instances with a specific GPU selected for each instance. If you want it all in one instance, you brought up a good reason why it would be useful to choose resources per worker in the command line. Unfortunately, I don't think it's currently possible (refer to my response to another question in this thread just a few posts up). August 05, 2011, 08:45:11 AM

grr, I tried 1.5.3 for windows from 1.5.1 and it just comes up w/ the program box sayin "This program has stopped workin..." it crashed...hrm...ideas?
Went back to 1.5.1 and works fine =/

+1 crashing for me. Using Catalyst 11.7/SDK 2.5 on both W7 x32 & x64
Same here, just crashes without generating the kernel binary.
Using Catalyst 11.8 Preview / SDK 2.5 Win7 x64.

Not possible, but why not keep it simple and just use --load-balance (check --help to confirm that is right)? Should be about 50/50 even if both GPUs work on both pools. Alternatively, why not run two instances? Are you on Windows? If so, run two instance's puddinpop's miner b/c it is the only one I have seen that doesn't use CPU in Windows, and using CPU is expensive whether it is finding shares or not.
EDIT: IOW, for your example above:
cgminer --load-balance -g 1 -o -O : -o -O :
EDIT: IOW, for your example above:
cgminer --load-balance -g 1 -o
It's a debian, and i got some stuff 'going on' already (many processes) and i'd like to save in what i can, but i guess i'll just put the 2 on screen if needed.
I'll try --load-balance, thanks for the tip, cheers!

I'd like to have 2 GPUs mining in separate pools using just 1 instance.
I run cgminer with -o -u -p -d 0 -g 1 -o -u -p -d 1 -g 1

It this an impossibility, or am i foobaring the command line?

Thread is here (download latest version from first msg):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25135.0;all
these words are the ones that got me confused. perhaps i just landed on this page at different point in time and i didn't see what you didhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25135.0;all
but i guess its just my damn night shifts... ><
so now i understand that you meant
i.e. not Diapolo's version
but this
Just to make absolutely sure you're not confused any further ...
Here's the diapolo thread, which is about the current OpenCL kernel present in cgminer: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/further-improved-phatkdia-kernel-for-phoenix-sdk-26-2012-01-13-25135

The newest kernel is of today, and it is only for Phoenix. In order for it to work with cgminer, some changes are needed as far as i can remember.
August 04, 2011, 04:29:33 PM
Wow, sweet thanks for the link!
Does this one include the newest phatk kernel? the august prerelease one?
Ah, just looked in the file seems to have the older version

August 04, 2011, 04:06:53 PM
Ycros is abit busy, so i have posted where to download it from his github
https://github.com/downloads/ycros/cgminer/cgminer-1.5.3-win32.zip
say thanks to him.

I can compile the latest version, but i am pretty sure no one will trust me so why should i even bother.
EDIT:
But since i am a nice guy, i've compiled it. http://www.mediafire.com/?r4h0fcuar0mbx9p
Download if you'd like, if you don't trust me, that is not my problem.
If you have the guts to try it, and it works, you can send the bounty to 1HmhUozoSUTfpY3CmW5fkQZjPNKZe1eucJ if it works for you . The program works on my platform, but i have no idea how it will behave on other platforms since i use some patchy methods to compile it with MinGW(on windows for windows).
There could be an instance where it says 1.2.3 but that is only cause the newest configure.ac fails to detect my OpenCL installation, so i used the old one. Still, the program should work. I've also included a few more DLLs which were reported missing.
If you find more missing DLLs, post about it.

I want a new windows version too =)...w/ the new august released phatk improved performance kernel!
August 04, 2011, 02:38:01 PM
Any ETA on the windows binaries getting updated?
I too would like to see the latest version of cgminer for windows. I will offer up a 1 BTC bounty for the build.
I'll throw 1 BTC bounty in as well for the latest version of CGMiner in a windows build.
1.5.1 works pretty good ... 1.5.3 will not be better in terms of raw performance. But yeah I would like to use an official 1.5.3 build, too

Looks like there's a new and improved version of the original
phatk kernel that outperforms diapolo's version, at least for
5XXX series ... maybe worth integrating into cgminer as an
option ?
Thread is here (download latest version from first msg):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25135.0;all
I'm guessing you didn't read it thoroughly:
Info: A version of this kernel is now used as the basic kernel in the new CGMINER, have a look here:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=28402
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=28402
Not to be unpleasant or anything but ... thank you very much, I was the person who
orginally asked ckolivas to add Diapolo's version of the phatk kernel to cgminer.
You'll also notice that is used the words " of the _original_ version of the phatk kernel",
i.e. not Diapolo's version: phatk has released in the last couple of days a version 2.2
which is faster than Diapolo's version (the one currently in cgminer).
Just to make absolutely sure you're not confused any further ...
Here's the diapolo thread, which is about the current OpenCL kernel present in cgminer: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/further-improved-phatkdia-kernel-for-phoenix-sdk-26-2012-01-13-25135
and here's the thread I was actually talking about: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/further-improved-phatkdia-kernel-for-phoenix-sdk-26-2012-01-13-25135
I just released a new version, which should be equal or even a bit better in terms of 69XX performance
. I sent Con infos, that I'm working on a new version and he knows too, that Phateus released a new phatk version. We all want the best so stay tuned.https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/further-improved-phatkdia-kernel-for-phoenix-sdk-26-2012-01-13-25860
