Title: monitor on Intel CPU/GPU with cgminer under Linux
Post by: tolip_wen on July 14, 2013, 06:25:32 AM
Hi and thx for cgminer, it does the job well.

As Mylon posted here

I have the same setup running.
cgminer 3.3.1
I don't use any /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
I do have a monitor connected to the AMD GPU, but do not use it if I am mining.
(waiting for my ASIC)  ;D

cgminer has no AMD GPU set/query

bfgminer DOES adjust the AMD GPU and report status
It can be done.

They seem to share a lot of code but obviously there are differences in the GPU portion.


If I do run X11 with the monitor on the AMD I take a hit on one CPU core, the system input gets laggy, and it mines less.

It does work as it is, and cranks out the hashes.

I'm not bitchin/requesting features, just adding my 0.0000002 LTC.


thx again for cgminer
