Title: Only able to access first GPU
Post by: AncientAli3n on July 07, 2011, 10:41:28 PM
Hi, I hope someone can help me with my problem, than I'm fucking freaking OUUUUUUT.

I got a new system with two HD 6990 running ubuntu 11.04.
I set the system up for the second time now but I'm only able to set the fanspeed and the core/memory clocks for the first gpu.
I tried several commands in the terminal like:

aticonfig --adapter=3 --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 85"

or

aticonfig --od-setclocks=830,760 --adapter=all

or

PLATFORM=0 DEVICE=3 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 85"

...

All these commands and more are accepted in the terminal. I can even get the fanspeed of device 13 or other random numbers, but it accesses allways only the first gpu and I am never able to set clock or fanspeed of a gpu other than the first one.

I hope someone understands my english and tries to help me.

kind regards
evilfish

Does windows recognize the second card?
Here is a guide that should answer your question.

did you initialize all adapters?

you're lucky :D my miners are working but i can't access clocks  ???
Code:
ERROR - Get clocks failed for Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
ERROR - Get clocks failed for Adapter 0 - AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series

Try:

Code:
sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all -f

then reboot / restart X.

First, check if ubuntu recognize your card or not:
aticonfig --list-adapter

If yes, bingo, let's take a look at adapter index. You might be worng when forced the 2nd GPU 3rd index with
aticonfig --adapter=3 --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 85"

If no, reinstalling the driver may fix it

First adapter:

Code:
DISPLAY=:0.0 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 80"

Second adapter:

Code:
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 80"

First of all, thx for all the answers.

Try:

Code:
sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all -f

then reboot / restart X.


I did that now. Sadly theres no positive effect

I reinstalled the whole system last night, so it cant be the driver.
Ubuntu recognizes my cards.
Code:
miner@BigBang:~$ aticonfig --list-adapter
* 0. 03:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 6990
  1. 04:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 6990
  2. 07:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 6990
  3. 08:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 6990

* - Default adapter

First adapter:

Code:
DISPLAY=:0.0 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 80"

Second adapter:

Code:
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 80"


Did that too. DISPLAY=:0.0 works and sets the fan on the right value.
If i try to control the second adapter with  DISPLAY=:0.1, the command is successful, but nothing happens.

Try plugging a monitor into both DVI ports. 1st card and 2nd card.   I know XP has this problem. not sure about Ubuntu though.
