xorg.conf created by

    # aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all

Thereafter, i modify it with next /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    Section "Module"
            Disable        "dri"
            Disable        "dri2"
    EndSection


Start phoenix:

    $ ./phoenix.py bitcoin_deepbit_gpu.cfg
    [10/28/2013 02:30:08] Welcome to Phoenix v2.0.0
    [0 Khash/s] [0 Accepted] [0 Rejected] [DISCONNECTED]X server found. dri2 connection failed!
    Trying to open directly...Device open failed

Start cgminer:

    $ ./cgminer --scrypt  -T --url stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9000 --user user --pass pass --no-submit-stale --queue 4 --scan-time 1
     [2013-10-28 02:41:21] Started cgminer 3.6.6                    
    X server found. dri2 connection failed!
    Trying to open directly...Device open failed

I have partially solve this trouble with `--gpu-platform 0`:

    $ ./cgminer --scrypt --gpu-platform 0 -T --url stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9000 --user user --pass pass --no-submit-stale --queue 4 --scan-time 1
     [2013-10-28 02:43:12] Started cgminer 3.6.6

    (5s):7.156K (avg):18.36Kh/s | A:0  R:0  HW:0  WU:35.4/m
    ....

But what is it? And how to specify platform for phoenix miner?

There is only one option in phoenix config:

    name = GPU 0 #The name to display the device as (default is device ID if not specified)

It doesn't help.
