Title: Cards detected in aticonfig, but no poclbm
Post by: gnaget on June 20, 2011, 05:07:43 AM
Hey all, I was having an issue with ubuntu where my mouse moving to the right of my screen caused x11 to crash.  To fix, I edited my xorg.conf file and removed all monitors and screens after the 1st, leaving all the devices.  When I rebooted, I could no longer mine on the 2nd and 3rd card.

I can do aticonfig --list-adapters, and all the adapters appear as expected.  When I run poclbm.py, I see only my first gpu, and my cpu.

I tried to do an aticonfig --initial --adapter=all, and it completed successfully, but I have the same problem.  I also tried reconfiguring, making, and installing pyopencl, to no avail. 

Any ideas what else I can try?

I reverted to my original xorg.conf file, but I still have the issue with the gui crashing when I move the mouse off the first screen

Is it possible to run phoenix or any other miner without loading x11?  I tried simply not loading the gui, but then my cards aren't detected.  This is worse than I thought though, because even if I disconnect the mouse so I don't have to worry about it moving off the screen, it still crashes every few minutes

For all who didn't get the point at the first view:

Login into your desktop and you'll see your card ;).

You could try disabling hardware accelerated pointer drawing, as described here:

If that doesn't help, post your xorg.0.log, and I'll take a look at it.

Edit: Note that you need to post the xorg.0.log from after xorg crashes, not while it's running.
