Title: Gentoo, EAH6950 and mining - need some help Post by: EskimoBob on July 05, 2011, 03:22:48 PM Hi
I like to get my Gentoo box running with EAH6950 2DI4S 1GD5 PCI-E 2.1 GDDR5 / 256-bit / Core 810MHz / card. I have the system up and running but I am not sure what I need to install, to get this card properly working and mining. Thank you Title: Re: Gentoo, EAH6950 and mining - need some help Post by: EskimoBob on July 05, 2011, 06:37:45 PM Hopefully this helps someone to get started.
First I followed gentoo xorg and ati related documentation emerge ati-drivers emerge radeon-ucode emerge xorg-drivers emerge xorg-server run aticonfig --initial (see --help for details) Then I had to 'emerge amd-app-sdk-bin', you get the e-build from https://bugs.gentoo.org/304903?id=304903 You also need the app-admin/eselect-opencl (http://trac.pentoo.ch/browser/portage/trunk/app-admin/eselect-opencl?rev=1839&order=name) You probably need the pyopencl for the miner software so run 'emerge pyopencl', it is going to pull in the dev-util/nvidia-cuda-toolkit. Do nor worry about this! You can run: 'eselect opengl list' and select ati Have fun and happy mining... in my pool obviously ;) |
