You should have 2 display devices in your device manager (1 integrated, the other discrete). Also, maybe you need to reinstall your opencl?.. try gpu caps viewer and see what your opencl tab says.

No it's an AMD chip, as i said, the radeon is listed in my device manager next to the onboard vga device and it's not disabled or anything.
Tried guiminer too and that one also only shows my CPU as available device...

It's an intel chip? Some intel MBs disable your PCIe graphics when you use the onboard chip, but people on these forums have gotten it to work.

Are you specifying Platform and Device? Those settings may have changed.

I kinda screwed up my graphics card with all the overclocking i did in the past, lots of artifacts, in short, not very usable for watching movies or playing games. But... for mining it still works perfectly!
Since i have an onboard vga chip (AMD A55M chipset) i thought i would use that as primary device for my display and just select the Radeon card for mining.

I switched the cable and bios settings, seems to work fine, and my device manager still shows the radeon device as well. But when i try to launch diablo miner it tells me "ERROR: OpenCL platform AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing contains no devices"

Also i can't seem to enable the card to give output to a secondary monitor, just doesnt give signal but thats fine with me.

Does anyone know how to get this setup to work? What i did wrong?
