What does this mean??
bit@Bit:~$ aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all
aticonfig: This program must be run as root when no X server is active
I just bought a new computer, had a computer shop make it, and went through all the steps but I can't tell what number my GPUs are. I am mining successfully on my CPU so it works, but why won't my cards show up?

Hmm... I'm going to assume you really do have an instance of X running. What's the value of $DISPLAY returned by the terminal window in which you are trying to run aticonfig
Code:
echo $DISPLAY
You should get something like
Code:
:0.0
I've found no way of managing the cards without an instance of X running. At the very least I need a simple xorg.conf which points out my two cards and to run xinit in the background. When I ssh into my miner I need to run
Code:
DISPLAY=:0
before aticonfig is fully functional. sudo will help to an extent but there are still some things you will not be able to do.
