OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.1

What's the ADL and how do I install it under Windows 7 64bit?

By installing a recent enough version of the Catalyst drivers that has that support.  That's why I asked what version you had.

I know that Catalyst 11.6 has that support because that is what I'm using.  And I'm using 11.6 because it doesn't have the 100% CPU utilization bug.

So what version are you using?
Sam

Edit: ADL is the ATI display library used for monitoring and setting GPU parameters.

Catalyst 11.9

That version should work fine.  Do you get any error messages when starting CG Miner?

Good news guys. I just tried upgrading to the ATI 11.11 driver on linux and the CPU usage bug is finally fixed, AND it works with newer xorg 1.11 (in case you're on a very recent distribution, like Archlinux).

How many GPUs?
1 GPU has been fixed since 11.9
2+ GPU was unfixed as of 11.10

If 2+ GPU work in 11.11 that is awesome.

Beware when using teamviewer/vnc on windows; make sure catalyst isnt running. When I tried it, the GPU would always crash when ending the teamviewer session, the same way it would crash and get horrible corruption if I start cgminer before CCC has loaded.

ah... that's why it keeps crushing.. because of vnc.. what about remote admin? is it affected too?

No, no error message at all. Cgminer just doesn't show RPM and temperature etc...

When you go into the GPU menu do you have the options to change the clocks and such?

I put your command lines into my miner and it all works fine.  But I'm using WinXP and Win7 32 bit and different GPU's of course.
Dunno,

Dont know TBH. I gave up on windows once I discovered that linuxcoin has no problems overclocking beyond the hardcoded "safe limits". That was the only reason I tried windows. I think getting rid of CCC is all you need to do, but I havent tested it.

[worldinacoin]

How do you configure cgminer in linuxcoin?  I find that those options --auto etc all can't seem to work. . My GPU can be recognized though and the other thing I can key in is the pool.

Also applies if you are not running a GUI.

Found the problem... When using VNC instead of RDP, everything works just fine...  I see temperatures and RPMs now ;-)  Thanks for all the help.

Ah, the little details .  But that kept your GPU fans at 30%?  That seems odd?

Even 1 GPU was NOT fixed for many of us on either 11.9 or 11.10.

11.11 fixes CPU usage for any number of GPUS for me.

AWESOME.  Looks like I need to upgrade.

Hmm, maybe it depends on the cards?
Since you say it's fixed I'd guess that means it's certainly fixed for 69xx cards.
I guess we'll see as others try it and find out how far the fix reaches.

[c_k]

From what I have read so far, the 100% CPU fix for 2+ GPUs with 11.11 drivers may be Linux only

Confirmed in my CentOS 6 x86_64 dual 6990 rig as well. Loving the lower power consumption!

awesome miner!!!!! thanks!

switched to cgminer 2.0.8 from cpuminer 1.0.2

100% CPU Usage Bug for me under Linux with 4 x 5870 with Catalyst 11.11 fixed !

Finally.

awesome miner!!!!! thanks!

You're most welcome

LOL - that is very funny
