What drivers are you waiting for? 11.9? 

Yup should be out in a few weeks maybe sooner. LinuxCoin is now rocking xorg 1.11

In a root terminal when i check cpu usage using the top command, xorg is using a lot of cpu, anywhere from 40% to 97%...why would this be?

I wouldn't know I haven't seen the same behavior here ? Whats the CPU monitor reading in the taskbar ?

You have quite a bit running ? I can see iceweasel, several instances of AMDOverdriveCtl, a java application and phoenix. I would suggest you first reboot your PC and start applications one by one. Once you see the usage go up then let me know whats pushing it up that high and I will help more.

Iceweasel was to post the screenshot.
AMDOverdriveCtl is open to control the fans
a java application is for the hopper
pheonix is for the...phoenix.

is it possible to use fanctrl in AMDOverdriveCtl any other way? Without keeping it open? My system has 7 gpu.

If your just using AMDOverdriveCtl just for your fans I would just use the standard AMD tools. Didn't I help you out on a bash script the other day ? If you want a small bash script to start your fans and overclock your cards use this little script to set your fans and overclock your cards. It's been setup for four cards if you have more or less add / remove from the loop.

3 cards would be

Code:

for i in 0 1 2; do

6 cards would be

Code:

for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5; do

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#globals

FANSPEED=80 #fanspeed as percentage
CCLOCK=990 # Core clock speed
MCLOCK=300 # Memory clock speed

#Meat & Potatoes
aticonfig --od-enable
for i in 0 1 2 3; do
  DISPLAY=:0.$i sudo aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 $FANSPEED"
  sudo aticonfig --odsc="$CCLOCK,$MCLOCK" --adapter=$i
done

the loop is great but not all gpu are created equal, plus i am using 4 cards, a 5870 and 3 5970, so i would prefer no loop.

persistance got you down? unable to force your sync into your newfangled key?

have no fear... bootstrap is here.

whipped up a bootstrap turns a virgin linuxcoin boot into a mother of all bitcoins.

initial version does the following

• launches the ATI license agreement (read fast, mash enter)
• launches the timezone set utility
• installs a screensaver file set to 1 minute, no fade, blank screen
• attempts to make sure screensaver is running (needs work)
• changes to cgminer-2.0.3 directory, ready for action

has bugs, read the code before u run it mmmkay? public domain, unless otherwise stated.

useful when persistance isn't

from an lxterminajig

Code:

git clone git://github.com/metonymous/lc.git
cd lc
cat bootstrap.sh # for what could it do? it might be a bad bad cat
#./bootstrap.sh

Then voilà! My scar! Pepito knows what to do. Did you know the voice for Madeleine was replaced by the voice for Chloe in season 2 onwards? True story.

Now, run "./cgminer <options>" from that dir

Or over-write the default cgminer if u desire.

I said good day, sir.
