Title: Newb here, having troubles with my macbook and cgminer Post by: poostang on September 05, 2013, 08:17:15 PM Hey bitcointalk members, I'm new and trying to setup cgminer. I'm running a macbook with windows and it has an AMD Radeon 6750m. I have 11.12 drivers installed with the package that includes opencl. I was wondering if this is normal, my screen seems to hang like this:
http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv238/lukedoyle/coinfuck.jpg I'm running this as my config: "cgminer -o http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u XXXXXSECRETUSERNAMEXXXXX -p password" I would like to get this sorted because I just blew 2000 USD on a massive quad GPU rig that has not arrived yet. Haha, help me!! Title: Re: Newb here, having troubles with my macbook and cgminer Post by: sublime5447 on September 05, 2013, 08:29:00 PM looks like you need to lower the thread count or the intensity. TC of 8192 seems to work for most cards. You should start there.
The code is "Thread-concurrency 8192" Title: Re: Newb here, having troubles with my macbook and cgminer Post by: marcovaldo on September 05, 2013, 08:45:15 PM Welcome in the bitcoin world.

So now my bat file looks like this: cgminer -o http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u #@#%@#% -p password --thread-concurrency 8192 It's showing the same message, I'm going to try and resintall my drivers with the AMD driver removal tool. Any other suggestion welcome! Title: Re: Newb here, having troubles with my macbook and cgminer Post by: sublime5447 on September 05, 2013, 09:05:24 PM Try lower intensity
Title: Re: Newb here, having troubles with my macbook and cgminer Post by: poostang on September 05, 2013, 10:38:11 PM So I installed 12.4 drivers after a clean wipe. It's still doing the same thing. When I add -I 6 or -I 9 it just goes blank.
Really confused here... Title: Re: Newb here, having troubles with my macbook and cgminer Post by: sublime5447 on September 05, 2013, 10:44:19 PM That is normally what happens when it crashes try running it with no intensity in place. In fact try running it with no I, TC , GPU eingine, or clock
Cgminer will pick all that for you if you leave it blank Title: Re: Newb here, having troubles with my macbook and cgminer Post by: poostang on September 05, 2013, 10:53:30 PM I logged into my pool and noticed I had stats.
So I guess its working? But not displaying the info about my card and speed? Title: Re: Newb here, having troubles with my macbook and cgminer Post by: sublime5447 on September 06, 2013, 01:21:15 PM You gotta know that. What you really need to know is the temp. you can add a line in cgminer for a temp target and a temp cutoff be sure to add those.
