Title: AMD Linux driver Post by: sobaka007 on December 02, 2013, 04:22:17 PM hi,
I'm stuck with setting up GPU mining on linux (openSUSE x64). cgminer doesn't want to see/use my card. I'm wondering if I can use cgminer with 'radeon' (open source) driver or I only have a chance if I stick with 'fglrx' (proprietary official) driver? And as I understand with 'fglrx' I have two options: get it from AMD website or use openSUSE repo (http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMD_fglrx) (is there any difference except of a way to install?) and when you come to AMD driver page (http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86) it says: "32-Bit packages must be installed for 64-Bit Linux drivers to install or work". It makes me think that probably I should stick with x86 version of environment rather than with x64. Or I get it wrong? thanks Title: Re: AMD Linux driver Post by: sobaka007 on December 03, 2013, 03:40:06 AM ah, never mind...
appeared, that driver works fine. But the problem is I can't use it as root since X server is started for user I log in. Weird. I'm still figuring out the issue, cuz it keeps me from running a miner on headless server :| I can't start a server: Code: > X ...which is true: Code: > ps aux | grep X neither I can access display: Code: > DISPLAY=:0 fglrxinfo |
