Yes, on this weekends. Actually, it's ready, but I want to push some changes into release.

libstdc++ and libgcc have special license exceptions for closed-source software, but glibc is under pure LGPL Sad
I know many examples of commercial software with a closed-source for Linux, which does not interfere with licensing restrictions GPL. Such as Autodesk Maya.

on my notebook with ATI 5870 it does work at 1,20 MH/s but on my desktop with ATI 5970 it doesnt
Oops, there is a problem. Seems that Hemlock (59xx) support is missing from my ATI SDK. If you mine any other coins with 5970 with cgminer or reaper, what are the names of .bin files in miner directory? If they are named Cypress_something.bin there is a hope to resolve the issue without too much efforts.

They have armies of lawyers, I'd better be paranoid Smiley

Problem: I run the miner on desktop PC, it opens and then close the miner after 5 secs. No mining at all and no error message, it just quit back to cmd prompt
Most probably your GPU is not supported. Sorry, no efforts were put into UI, error diagnostics and such things. Well, that's preview and I hope to improve my miner in the future.

TECHNOLOGY, BABY!
Gonna give this a try later today, haven't mined QRK in a while.

Saucy Salamander, x64?
(I'm on debian, may be there is some way to build universal linux binary, but VM route would be faster)

Simple build miner and link with all static libraries gcc -static (libc, libstdc++, boost, curl, openssl & e.t.c. )

Solo or poolmine with the latest version?
Solo only, at least for the foreseeable future

Got a 32% boost AND a fluid desktop, awesome  Cheesy
Really, desktop smoothness took more efforts than kernel tweaks, but it well worth it

Latest version works great.  Computer remains usable and no freezing so far.  Now we just need QRK price to @$#&ing go up!  Grin
Let's hope, after the last reward halving traders can trade with no fear for big influx of freshly minted coins Smiley

Great update!
Got a 32% boost AND a fluid desktop, awesome  Cheesy

Running at following settings:

I can keep it running at all times with no effect to my work/media experience and that's why I'll keep it running 'till the end of the world Smiley
When I want to play something I just pause the miner with Process Explorer and when I'm finished I'll let it to roll again.

Solo or poolmine with the latest version?
It's solo

E: Tested Intensity's effect to performance, short 60 second rounds, so it's not 100% waterproof, but it shows to me that going over about 20-30 doesn't give a considerable boots: (yeah, it's low resolution data but it tells something)

6930+6770=3.7MH/s speed improved for 15%
Worse than expected Sad
Quark and Securecoin fall faster than I can boost the kernel, I'll wait and watch exchange rate before putting more work into Quark kernel...

linux version available?
Which flavor of Linux do you use? Actually, smelter is developed on Linux Smiley I must check that nothing GPL'ed gets into the binary and setup VMs for most popular distributions.

I think 10% is a fair cut for a capable gpu miner.
10% is a fair cut for the only gpu miner, a good competing miner will force me to drop the royalty. Or improve the speed Smiley
