Title: [SOLVED] aticonfig: This program must be run as root when no X server is active Post by: bcforum on June 25, 2011, 08:42:18 PM If you want to run your farm headless, and manage it through SSH, you will soon discover the dreaded: "aticonfig: This program must be run as root when no X server is active" or "ERROR - X needs to be running to perform ATI Overdrive(TM) commands" error messages. To monitor temperatures (or any other aticonfig command) you need the following: Code: user@farm:~$ export DISPLAY=:0 Note, you can use any of the aticonfig commands to tweak clock settings or whatever.

Seems to be stable though. Can't run two of them on an 800W supply, so It's idle until I upgrade. I'm trying to find some real information on the temperature limits of these devices. 103C doesn't bother me too much. Over 110C and I'd shut it down.

Have been googling things like 'aticonfig ssh', etc for half an hour.
