I'm running cgminer on Ubuntu 12.04 with two 5830s and a 6800-based card. I installed everything according to this guide:
http://rdmsnippets.com/2013/03/20/bitcoin-mining-with-ubuntu-12-04-tls-and-cgminer/If I mine on one card, it gets the full hash rate (200 Mh/s). However, if I mine on all three cards, each card only mines at 1/3 the rate it's supposed to get (68 Mh/s). This is apparently the problem described in the cgminer FAQ:
Q: I have multiple GPUs and although many devices show up, it appears to be working only on one GPU splitting it up.
A: Your driver setup is failing to properly use the accessory GPUs. Your driver may be configured wrong or you have a driver version that needs a dummy
plug on all the GPUs that aren't connected to a monitor.
I used aticonfig to set up my xorg.conf file, so I don't see where I might have messed up my driver configuration. I've tried adding a dummy plug (well, a resistor) to one of my GPUs, but to no avail. Am I overlooking something? Where should I start looking for problems with the configuration?
Thanks!
