Long story short:

cgminer output:
 [2013-08-14 12:26:20] Started cgminer 3.3.4X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
                                                                                                                                Major opcode of failed request:  136 ()

Someone can help or recommend what distro and version of distro and ati driver should I use to make cgminer work with 6950?

Thanks

I've seen good things with people working with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and cgminer. But seeing as how Mint is also a debian variant, I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. If you are trying to steer clear of Ubuntu like I am, try it on just plain old Debian Wheezy. It's the same commands as you're used to with Mint. But to get the funcitonality of Mint with all of the media working "out of the box", you'll have to install all the packages for it including the restricted extras. Just my 2 cents though.

Would also try SDK 2.4, seems to work pretty well with 6xxx series cards.
