Debian - what do i need for cgminer?

[winsucker]

Hi there!

TLTR - Debian, no GUI, what do I need?

I have just put one of my 9750 that was just sitting on my desk, collecting dust in my Debian home server.
What do I need to run cgminer?

Do i need to install Xorg and some type of windows manager?

I'm using nodm with automatic login and an .xinitrc file which just runs cgminer inside a screen session.  I'm not running a window manager at all.  To set up automatic login with nodm, see /etc/default/nodm.  My .xinitrc looks something like this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
$HOME/bin/screen-cgm.sh &
exec xterm

The exec xterm is just there to keep the X session running.  The script screen-cgm.sh starts a (detached) screen session running cgminer.
