2.6.3 -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg1079367#msg1079367An Xubuntu 11.04 64bit executable in my github downloads called cgminer-2.6.3a https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/downloadsFor anyone who didn't realise, it's just the executable file to put in place of 'cgminer' Nothing else needs changing First get and extract the full binary release from ckolivas and then copy my file in place of 'cgminer' No Problems so far on my GPU, BFL or 2xIcarus The same configure options as cvolivas' binary version In case anyone was wondering: CFLAGS="-O2 -W -Wall" ./configure --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce --enable-ztex --enable-modminer --enable-scrypt I have also added a WinXP cgminer-2.6.3a.exe This ONLY has BFL + ICA (as below) thus it doesn't need a computer with OpenCL on it CFLAGS="-O2 -W -Wall" ./configure --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce You will most likely also need the windowsdlls.zip file there in my downloads since my *.dll might be slightly different to ckolivas

@kano You should mention, that your executable file is compiled in x64_86 enviroment as ywell. Took me me somme time to figure, why this is not working on my x86 xubuntu :/ 2.6.1 was sucking a lot with my bfl`s anyways. I`ll give it a try with bfl now. i`m working on 2.4.3 now - is there a lot of improvements since than (bfl & ztex) ?? answer YES/NO would be nice ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

It doesn't apply my overclock settings and gives me this message on startup, wondering how I would code to fix it if possible:
"ADL found less devices than opencl! There is possibly more than one display attached to a GPU Use the gpu map featured to reliably map OpenCL to ADL" Hardware monitoring may NOT match up with devices!
what OS are you using? if linux, before running cgminer enter: Doesn't show temperature of my cards which is a real problem and makes me have to rely on other overclock software
Have you installed the ADL SDK from AMD? did you copy the appropriate header files into the cgminer ADL directory before compiling? http://developer.amd.com/sdks/ADLSDK/Pages/default.aspx

That's the cost of much smoother getwork behaviour. On the flip side, it will have less chance of dips in the hashrate, leak shares to backup pools, have bursts of work requirements and so on.

Version 2.6.2 would be best for me, or for who use one pool? Or is it just a side effect, and the end result is the same as the shares was on the previous version. Only DW is too much, because the new methods of work requests?

Yep it is 64 bit i`m working on 2.4.3 now - is there a lot of improvements since than (bfl & ztex) ?? answer YES/NO would be nice ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ztex itself? - no, nelisky hasn't touched the code in ages - he seems to have no time for bitcoin for a long time now There are lots of changes regarding getting work from the pool, and lots of changes with adding scrypt The NEWS file mentions all changes for each version. BFL has been getting a few bug fixes thus there have been BFL bugs during 2.4.3->2.6.3 ... I keep updating miner.php ... and API specific changes are documented in API-README

So I tried to get the 2.5 SDK installed alongside 12.1 (yet again) and I get nothing but segfaults. Seriously, how do you get both of them installed?

Perhaps then you have a few files from different SDKs installed. That's usually how segfaults occur. You'll have to go through and do a cleanup. The newer AMD drivers automatically install the SDK themselves.

I know, that's why I'm having the problem. But how do you get the driver to install without the SDK or at least remove the SDK that it installs? Gah, now I gotta remember how I cleaned up all these files last time...

I am getting a lot of "This program has stopped working and will be shutdown" with 2.6.3. Running windows X32 7 on 13 different miner rigs with 5970, 7970, and some BFL singles. Both the 7970 rigs and 5970 rigs are getting the error, I have reverted back to 2.6.2, and haven't had issues. Just thought I'd share.

... Kano,

spiccioli
No, I haven't done it yet. Zefir's patch obviously isn't how it should be handled properly, but it's OK to use for yourself since it doesn't cause any problems. As I pointed out in the other thread, I thought it was internally done automatically, but since it isn't, the relevant solution seems to be to add a device api interface for it. Since that will affect all devices, I'm leaving it until 2.6.x is out of flux due to the BFL issues. (I not a git guru and usually end up having to redo things when the code is changing - so I avoid it) I'll post a message in the other thread when it's done. Basically, yes, when changed it will report HW: errors (which it doesn't at the moment - they just get a message "Share below target")

Have you installed the ADL SDK from AMD? did you copy the appropriate header files into the cgminer ADL directory before compiling? http://developer.amd.com/sdks/ADLSDK/Pages/default.aspxWait wait wait...what is that? previously always told to get driver 12.X and SDK 2.X, then told get newest driver 12.6 and use it's built in SDK, is this SDK or something more? Whatever would be able to let radeon's be detected by software fully when no display is plugged into then, as this should increase slightly the Mhash Right now I have my main display hooked to onboard and extended the desktop with black background to one off the radeon, otherwise CGMINER doesn't see it properly gives those errors and can't auto fan tune and even MSI afterburner doesn't work
