Topic: [SOLVED] Two Radeon HD 5870 in one computer, but only one working? (Read 2545 times)
To me it seems that with Windows 'luck' is the factor that decides if it will work or not, on Linux you are depending on 'a problem that can be solved'.

The disabling seems to be on the driver level. On Windows there's a registry setting for ULPS that works according to some, but apparently not for everyone. Maybe someone managed to put the proper setting into the default Linuxcoin settings?
I have also had to extend the desktop on Windows to get my miner to recognize secondary, dummy plugged GPUs. Seems like there's always one new problem waiting around the corner...

Brilliant, that worked! Thanks! Well, it wasn't enough to just connect a second screen, I actually had to modify my xorg.conf ServerLayout so that both screens are active to get it working.
Here's my current xorg.conf. I'm not sure all of this is necessary, but at least it works for me now. Getting about 340 Mhash/s on each card, not overclocked.
Folax, thanks, I'll check out LinuxCoin. Would be great to avoid multiple screens and dummy plugs.

I had 2 5870s in my WinXP box working both (only a screen attached to 1 card), then I had to reboot, and afterwards only 1 card was active, the 2nd one was disabled by ATI CCC.
I installed LinuxCoin and both cards work fine now, with still only 1 screen attached (to 1 card).
I never used a dummy plug or 2 screens, I really don't know why I don't need to though.
Try LinuxCoin on a USB drive and see if your cards work there I'd suggest.

Not sure if it applies to Linux, but the Radeons have a power saving state that disables them if no screen is connected. You can start mining on one, and then plug your screen into the other and start a miner there as a temporary workaround.
Less temporary would be a dummy plug. A forum search will show you how to make one out of the DVI-VGA adapter and some resistors.

Hi,
I have a computer with 2 ATI Radeon HD 5870 cards. I have got things up and running, but OpenCL can only see one GPU, not both.
I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, and I've installed the fglrx driver (8.840) and the AMD APP SDK (2.4), built pyopencl, and have successfully run poclbm on one GPU, and also on the CPU (though jgarzik's cpuminer was a lot faster on the CPU using sse2_64).
Anyone have any idea what I need to do to get both cards mining?
lspci shows both cards:
I've configured both cards in xorg.conf:
and X starts up fine, but clinfo (bundled with AMD APP SDK) just shows the GPU and the CPU:
