The 1.3.1 release solved my issue with blank lines between the log entries. Thanks!
You're welcome! The issue was that windows opens a standard dos shell in 80 columns and the default text was slightly wider than 80 so I made it more concise.

One thing I've been meaning to ask: why is the -n option available when cgminer isn't compiled with GPU mining support? Is the output actually useful (i.e. it shows the amount of devices that could be used for GPU mining), or will it just simply always print out "0 GPU devices detected"?

You have a conflict between jansson-1.2 which is included with Fedora and jansson-2.0 which comes with cgminer. Remove the jansson-devel packages and you'll be able to finish the build.
Will removing the jansson-devel packages be beneficial at all compared to the workaround I described (editing the makefile)? Regarding the NVIDIA drivers, I remember doing something with akmod-nvidia, but that may have been prior to mining, I downloaded the propietary binary package at some point as well, but I may have only installed it on an older version. I think I installed the CUDA toolkit by extracting it per NVIDIA's instructions, but I don't think it is used. I had trouble with it throwing an error about gcc 4.5 and greater not being supported trying to compile something a while back and couldn't figure out how to get it to recognize that I was using gcc34 as a compiler. Also, I think the gpu mining compiled fine in this case because I also installed the ATI SDK, so I think it used the OpenCL drivers from the ATI SDK and not the CUDA toolkit. Come to think of it, the working phoenix and poclbm came from git and weren't compiled by me, but I'd still expect them to use the same OpenCL driver.but will get this upon running cgminer:
[2011-07-20 12:41:07] Error: Getting Device IDs (num)
I am running an nVidia card at the moment, but poclbm and phoenix can each access it.
How did you install the NVIDIA drivers and CUDA toolkit?[2011-07-20 12:41:07] Error: Getting Device IDs (num)
I am running an nVidia card at the moment, but poclbm and phoenix can each access it.
If you installed the NVIDIA drivers from RPM Fusion (including xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-devel package) and the CUDA toolkit from NVIDIA in the default /usr/local/cuda, then this should get you going:
Code:
CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/cuda/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/nvidia ./configure
make clean
make

On a side note, cgminer seems to use a lot of CPU for GPU mining in Windows, and all found hashes get rejected. Same nVidia card, and I know phoenix gets a lot of rejects too if I use BFI_INT. I saw that BFI_INT is used in the original post, but I didn't see any way to disable it in the parameters. Is it possible to disable it, or is this miner meant for ATI only?
That should not be the case (the infinite rejects). There was an older version which had a bug with the nvidia implemented kernel and that would happen, but shouldn't happen with the latest version. cgminer only uses bfi int patching on cards that support it, and uses a separate kernel for nvidia cards.Re the high cpu usage: Setting an intensity level usually uses a lot less CPU than letting it figure it out dynamically, but the windows build just uses a lot more cpu in general.
EDIT: I see 100% of one core used by poclbm and phoenix in Linux, so if this does less than that when I get it working, that will be a plus. rpcminer-cuda uses practically no cpu in Windows, but these cards don't get along with it (computer actually performs better with cgminer using more than 100% of one core [I've seen it up to 67% of two cores] than rpcminer-cuda with aggression set to 3. I may try out the intensity level just to see, though.

I use a windows batch file to run it.
anyone windows can use it too.
pastes this into bat file you make inside the cgminer directory
I haven't been able to figure out kernel, work size GPU and CPU threads yet though.
I need to figure out how many threads my GPU has first though.
oh just figured out GPU threads and worksize. -g 10 -w 256
MAN, that works good!
I suggest you don't give it a -g parameter at all. The default of 2 is often the best, but feel free to experiment. anyone windows can use it too.

2) Running the program from /usr/local/bin/ results in non-ncurses output (without flag) and the program segfaults on exit (ctrl-c) without displaying statistics.
If i use the screen and start the program, I can never exit properly and get the stats.
BTW, I did not run install on cgminer so it is not in /opt/ or /usr/local/bin/

Current version (d987006cd82900ecb1e6d9d2743d832a595b0c43) segfaults for me with two pools and --load-balance --no-longpoll:
It also seems that things get mixed up when one pool supports long polling, while the other one does not.

Hi,
for JSON a sensible multi-host config would look like this:

connections: [
{url: "http://foo.example.org:8332", username: "bar", password: "baz"},
{url: "http://bar.example.org:8332", username: "baz", password: "quux"}
],
…
}
for JSON a sensible multi-host config would look like this:

}
did you get a multihost config to work?
I try to make a new example-conf.json but
I don't... cgminer says no server specified
