Quote from: nelisky on January 24, 2012, 05:46:33 PM Ok, so a single card runs fine as an auto-detected configuration. Is it possible that one of the cards is misbehaving? Can you try each card individually? Each card on their own works fine with the original (automatic) xorg.conf. Quote from: nelisky on January 24, 2012, 05:46:33 PM That could very well be it, the somewhere else part. Did you try to move the VGA/DVI connector to another card, or to another port within the card? It could be that the autodetect is using the card that has the monitor on it, but then with =all it is using some other as main screen in a broken multi-screen config. Ya almost seems like some broken multi-screen thing to me? Quote from: P4man on January 24, 2012, 05:48:52 PM Do you get the ubuntu splash screen before it turns black? Can you SSH in to the machine? Does the numlock still turn on and off? Have you tried booting with nomodeset No splash screen, complete black screen with led signal on monitor. I doubt I can SSH in. Numlock does NOT turn on/off.

Well, before running aticonfig --initial -adapter=all everything works fine (all cards are recognized) however when I try to utilize all cards that doesn't quite work, which is why I do the adapter=all thing.

After restarting my computer the monitor shows a blank screen but still has a signal. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my xorg.conf. Any help would be so very much appreciated. Thanks. Looking at your dmesg output didn't really give any clues. Can you see the text console? (try ctrl+alt+F1~5). I've had much grief trying to get Catalyst to behave in a multi-monitor setup, but then again I moved to a situation where my miners are running text only, headless and are dedicated to mining. No more config pain. No, after getting the new xorg.conf file I can not get to the text console at any time (completely black screen but the monitor led stays on so I know it has signal). It's almost like screen is being displayed 'somewhere else.'

Oh well, my secret is out! Hopefully there are some people running Ubuntu who have had experience with similar situations.

Quote from: RodeoX on January 13, 2012, 02:42:24 PM I can understand wanting to mine just to check it out. However, you will want to consider the possible destruction of your computer into the cost. It is almost certain that you will not be profitable, and it may get expensive. Im new to mining but not hardware and this guy is right. OP save your money while doing some research, get a decent rig, and then kick some butt
