Title: pyopencl doesn't find my 5870...?
Post by: schone on May 06, 2011, 04:42:34 AM
Hello,

So I've installed my ATI HD 5870, installed catalyst and the SDK.  Its shared on my mobo with an internal graphic card ATI 3000HD and i'm using the 3000 for my monitor while wanting to use 5870 for mining headless.

I run the poclbm script and get the following:


Code:
No device specified or device not found, use -d to specify one of the following

AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor"

Mind you that when I right click on the system tray and see the catalyst context menu, it shows both my cards.  When I go to the info though catalyst shows the 5870 as "disabled" while window's device manager shows it not disabled.

Suggestions? Ideas?

Windows 7, 64bit.

Thanks much!

You should use 5870 for video output or insert some dummy-vga plug in it.

Try re-starting, and plugging a monitor cable into both of the outlets.

does the dummy vga need to have a monitor on the other hand or does it just press one of the pins inside the connector to let it know "it's alive"?


Also, i tried hooking up my monitor to the 5870 using the VGA->DVI so I have one free not connected DVI, one that is connected and two HDMI ports not connected... is it supposed to work now?  Cause i'm still getting nothing on the device list running poclbm with no switches...

Thanks!!
