A cheap way is to plug one in, start mining, unplug the monitor and plug it on the next one, start it, do the same for the rest, and bingo!

I thought that dummy plugs weren't needed for Linux?

Title: Re: multiple 5830s not recognized Post by: Dargo on July 15, 2011, 02:50:02 PM You definitely don't need dummy plugs for linux. Are you sure you know what your adapter numbers are? What is the output of aticonfig --lsa? 0.2b recognized my 5850s no prob.
Title: Re: multiple 5830s not recognized Post by: cam02003 on July 16, 2011, 12:07:38 AM Dummy plugs didn't work. Now when I boot with 2+ GPUs I get nothing but a black screen with a scrambled mouse cursor. When it boot with 1 GPU everything works normal. Stilling using linuxcoin .2b and 5830s
I still have no idea what my issue is or how to solve it. Please help! Title: Re: multiple 5830s not recognized Post by: cam02003 on July 16, 2011, 12:13:55 AM Was just able to boot and get into linuxcoin with 2nd GPU plugged into PCI 1x rather than PCI 16x.
This is the output for my aticonfig --lsa: root@linuxcoin:/home/user# aticonfig --lsa * 0. 01:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series * - Default adapter looks like its still not seeing the 2nd GPU :-\ Title: Re: multiple 5830s not recognized Post by: Sideways on July 19, 2011, 08:05:41 AM try a ' lspci | grep VGA ' you should have a VGA entry for each card that the machine sees. Or just ' lspci ' to see all pci devices.
If you only have one here, then the system isn't seeing it... check BIOS settings, try diff slots on the mobo if your using extenders. I've run into a board that will turn off x16 slots if it sees cards in certain slots, you'll have to go thu your mobo manual to be sure there. If it does see both cards, then it's something in aticonfig .. one command I run all the time is ' aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all ' which should give you the temps of all the cards. If you have two in lspci, and only one using --adapter=all, then I'd double check the drivers and SDK. I'd also try each card one at a time, to make sure you don't have a dead card..

Had to plug my monitor into what my BIOS has declared as the default monitor PCI-e slot. |
