Title: [SOLVED] ATI Config Can See My Cards But POCLBM Can't?
Post by: gigabytecoin on May 05, 2011, 01:21:56 AM
So I am in the process of setting up 4 5870s (3 gigabyte and 1 powercolor) on my 790fx motherboard.

I am using ubuntu 11.04, ati sdk stream v2.1, catalyst v11.4 and the latest poclbm from github.

When I type: aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt

I am met with 1 temperature reading of a cool 75 degrees Celsius, and 3 "failed to get temp" readings... So aticonfig knows they exist.

When I type: ./poclbm.py

I am met with 1 CPU and 1 CYPRESS GPU showing up.

Anybody else come across a similar problem?

Notes:
  • I have typed: export DISPLAY=:0
  • I have attempted to disable crossfire, it was not enabled.

Answer:
Simply re-start your computer at this point. D'oh!  :-\


Long Answer:
I had attempted to update my ubuntu 10.10 install sequence on the fly. I am also somewhat of a linux noob. Apparantly 11.04 requires one more re-start than the 10.10 instructions do for one reason or another.

If anyone else has noticed this "problem" and cares to explain I would be much obliged!

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

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

Forgot to mention I had already tried that as well, but thanks!
