Title: how to activate all Adapters? Post by: ewibit on January 19, 2012, 04:28:35 PM Hi all
I have put a new 5830 in PC and made a new xorg.conf but now only card 0 is active: Code: aticonfig --lsa with AMDOverdriveCtrl I see that only card 0 works: Code: AMDOverdriveCtrl --help how can I activate all adapters (here 3 and 6 because only 0 and 1 are @monitor? (I have done it with ATI Catalist control center but then my dual screen layout is lost...) Ubuntu natty TIA Title: Re: how to activate all Adapters?

Title: Re: how to activate all Adapters? Post by: ewibit on January 23, 2012, 01:54:39 PM sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all thank you - I have known this and done this xx-times (now I am on xorg.conf.fglrx-64...)and it was possible at one time to mine with all three adapters (2*5870 and 1*5830) BUT: if I change with Catalyst Control Center to dual screen (Big Desktop) on next reboot there is only card 0 active again >:( I have also tried: sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial --xinerama=off sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial --xinerama=on sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all --dtop=horizontal -v -f sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all --dtop=horizontal --overlay-on=1 -v -f sudo aticonfig -f --adapter=all --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left and a few more combinations but it was not possible to get all three cards working AND a Big Desktop on the 2 Monitors (only clone desktop) I think that aticonfig and Catalyst Control Center are working poorly together, because if I change something with CCC it changes the number of active adapters too...

TIA Same issue here, running ubuntu 12.04 using a 5970. Dual head/ Disabled 2nd display GPU0: 100% GPU1: 0% So far it seems Dual head & disabled 2nd display results in the second GPU not being available. ADL and OpenCL do not detect the same amount of GPU's in either of these configurations. Cloned GPU0: 100% GPU1: 100% If I run in cloned mode (with a resistor being a dummy plug), reconfig the xorg.conf using: Code: aticonfig -f --adapter=all --initial ADL and OpenCL detect the same amount of GPU's. id leave it at this, but unfortunately (from testing so far) I can only set the resolution to 1600x1200 (not the desired 1920x1080). Current GPU0: 100% GPU1: 50% Current I set the cloned mode, then manually edit the resolutions (in xorg.conf), reboot and I I seem to get ~50% hash rate on the 2nd GPU and the 1st works normally. Its my current compromise since I ended up working way to late on this last night. Title: Re: how to activate all Adapters? Post by: ewibit on July 29, 2012, 05:17:44 PM perhaps any X-Expert knows the missing point in in xorg.conf:
Catalyst Control Center (CCC) -> BIG Desktop but only 1 card active: Code: Section "ServerLayout" aticonfig -> CLONE Desktop but ALL cards active: Code: Section "ServerLayout" Title: Re: how to activate all Adapters?
