I'm running 20 GSD dual miners on 2 10 port hubs using BFGminer 4.0.

What I would also like to do is to mine with my video card, and OCL doesn't cut it.

How would I disable OCL mining in the .conf file of BFGminer.  I would like it done in the .conf file as I use a batch file to call the .exe and .conf files.

I tried guessing the command within the command line (-d0, -d 0, -dOCL, -d OCL, -d OCL0), but it ends up disabling all the GSD (GSD0 - GSD9) and the OCL 0 keep on as normal.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, and yup your memory is correct!  That is the manual way to disable the OCL, which works if I'm there.  But I was looking to do it automatically during startup .bat or within the .conf file so the rig could recover perfectly if there is a power loss or I remote restart it.

After extensive searching / reading I found an old post, Jul 8, 2013 by LukeJr to be exact, how to disable the OCL within the .bat file command line.

The command is   -S opencl:noauto   which placed in the .bat command line disables BFGMiners OCL mining option all together, and does not interfere with the "other" program I use with the GPU to mine with.

Strange that I found no reference to that command in the docs that were include with the BFGminer packs. Oh well, got it anyways.  Hopefully this post will help someone if they have the same issue I had.
