loopback adapter?

[god_43]

i know you need a loopback adapter with windows, but do you need one with linux? fgor a dedicated miner is linux better? or are there differences with regards to hash power?



thanks.

What kind of loopback adapter? A network loopback adapter? Windows and all Linux distros that I've used have a network loopback adapter configured and enabled by default. It's what you use when you do something like "ping localhost".

hi thanks. no i mean to activate the gpu. in windows i need to create a dummy dvi adapter that loops back the signal to enable the gpu. so i am wondering if the same for linux?



thanks.
