Problem with additional GPUs in Ubuntu?

[dudel42]

I set up Ubuntu x64 with the 2.4 SDK successfully following this guide:

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9239.0;all

It's working just fine with one 5850. Now I added a second 5850 and the system doesn't seem to be able to access it:

Code:

aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all

Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 50.00 C
ERROR - Get temperature failed for Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series

same thing happens with miners, they simply work with gpu0 but not with gpu1 (or both).

Do I need some additional configuration for the additional gpu?

thanks.

Run

sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all

and reboot. Will solve the problem if you didn't do that already

great, thx!

I already did that before, but from within ssh... Now when I did it from the console it worked!

still trying to figure out the right combination.. it seems certain things can only be done from the console, or only work in ssh when also logged in on the console.. confusing

Try running it from ssh like this since you are not at the console,  ssh will not know which xterminal to run the command on.   Setting the DISPLAY=:0 variable fixes this before running aticonfig.

DISPLAY=:0 sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all
