Thank you it's a good job but I also can't get this to work running multiple GPU's...

This worked for getting multiple GPU running for me...
aticonfig --adapter=all --initial
aticonfig --adapter=all --initial
(Yes, run twice. First time only saw one device section, second time saw all.)
amdsetup
aticonfig --adapter=all --initial
(Yes, again. Should see found device for every card you have)
reboot

For faster boot/run, modify /slax/boot/syslinux.cfg...
After line 4 (TIMEOUT 40), add the following line:
ONTIMEOUT default
At the end of line 33 (that starts with APPEND vga=normal...) add ,toram
This will cause it to copy itself to RAM at boot time automatically.

In case you have issues with cgminer and X taking up way to many CPU cycles, modify /slax/boot/syslinux.cfg...
After line 4 (TIMEOUT 40), add the following line:
ONTIMEOUT default
At the end of line 33 (that starts with APPEND vga=normal...) add nohz=off highres=off
I had to do this on one of my rigs (but not all). The completed line as I have it looks like this...
APPEND vga=normal initrd=/slax/boot/initrfs.img load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw printk.time=0 slax.flags=perch,xmode,toram nohz=off highres=off
This was a problem for me when running I=20 or trying to run multiple instances of cgminer. Hopefully that helps anyone else with the same problem.
I'm starting to like this distro, thanks uray. Lot of potential.

I tried these changes but unfortunately my mini rig 2x5970 1x5850 has always a big lag and the cgminer on the terminal windows can't display the stats. I've tried running the "screen" command but nothing... the GPU's runs but I cannot say how it runs, and logging the process with 2>logfile.txt seems to be ok... The Intesity is 18 on all GPU. I suppose it's a bad driver + SDK combination for me. However a PC with only 7850 works flawlessly. Anyway Thank you  |

If you start your miner in the background with the screen command, you can then SSH over to watch without the lag. |

Ohhh good solution, logged with putty and yes I finally see the cgminer stats but without hardware monitor (GPU temperature and FAN velocity) and with a lot of Hardware Errors from all the GPUs and the Hashrate is less then my cgminer in Windows. |

Stop the miner and run the following... export DISPLAY=:0
/opt/cgminer/cgminer -nWhat are your results? |

Check your BIOS. Many motherboards come with fan set to full speed, and you can change it to auto instead. |

/opt/cgminer/cgminer -nWhat are your results? Have done infinite number of times: OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP 1214.3 Always All the GPU has the "harware monitoring enabled" and always all seems ok! |

Weird. I've yet to see cgminer not display temps when hardware monitoring is enabled. Have you tried running without any settings beyond pool? I believe the first version he released was 13.4 driver version, so maybe see if that one works? Sorry, don't know what else it could be. |

Going around in linux forums I realized that is a bad combination of SDK + Driver version for series 5xxx  |

The "catalyst" module is in the first version. The "experimental" module is in the latest version. I guess you could try the "legacy" (13.1) module. |

Hello,
my cgminer/bfgminer can't detect any gpu.
When i run aticonfig --odgt it's can show my GPU and also show the temperature.
when i run ./cgminer -n nothing error, gpu and opencl showing perfectly.
How to solve this problem ??
And also, how i can make a persisten change for cgminer, so when it reboot i don't have to add pool again.
Thank's

I wish I could help, but I've never seen cgminer not recognize a card after seeing it with the -n argument. Regarding persistent changes, that is a default boot option. You do not have to do anything. I'm guessing the problem is that you are creating your startup scripts or configs in the /opt/cgminer/ directory? If so, that directory gets overwritten at boot. You either have to add the files offline (/slax/rootcopy/opt/cgminer/), or save them elsewhere. I just create scripts in /root/ (which is persistent) using command line arguments to start cgminer. |
