It does not affect hash rate... only boot times and anytime something has to be done on the hard drive. 

If you're searching these lines for a point, you've probably missed it.  There was never anything there in the first place.

If I wanted to install both SDK 2.1 and 2.4 to try them both, is it as simple as following the both sets of SDK download/configure instructions, then just echoing the correct version into /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf, and running ldconfig?  Can I switch back and forth?  I might end up with a system with both 5xxx and 6xxx cards, so I'm not sure what version would be best.

6xxx cards don't work with v2.1.

To answer your question, I don't know... probably that would work but I can't say for sure. You'd have to change the icd as well

How did you guys get around the error that ATI gives when you try to run aticonfig from an SSH session?

When I SSH into my miner and run aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all   I get this error:  ERROR - X needs to be running to perform ATI Overdrive(TM) commands


I know X is running, because there is a gnome session set to autologin, and I can plug up a display and see it sitting at the desktop.  I though X was indeed running.

Are you running it as the same user that is logged in? 

Try sudo aticonfig.

Are you using 2.4 or 2.1?  2.4 seems to have more issues with the error described than 2.1 does.

Running 2.4
I SSH in as the user that is logged in.  I have tried running aticonfig as normal logged in user, as well as trying to sudo it.  I have also tried switching to root and have same results.   I am thinking about ripping out gnome and installing XFCE

Have you done sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all ?

Yeah, I have run sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all

I have been mining on this machine for quite a while without any problems, except for not being able to use the aticonfig commands from SSH.

Hi Inaba, I am wondering if you have any ideas about how I can upgrade from SDK 2.1 -> 2.4 for testing purposes (note I want to keep 2.1 incase I want to roll back)
I created a thread here http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=14292.0 but if you could help me that would be amazing.

Thanks!

Is anyone else getting crashes with settings above aggression 6 or 7 on ubuntu or xubuntu?
I am runnning all my GPUs on aggression 6 because otherwise it is instable, FASTLOOP also makes it instable. The whole box crashes and becomes unresponsive, after minutes, sometimes a few hours of uptime.
I use sempron 140 cpus and 2 gigs of ram.

Hi darkpandora,

Try this instead.

DISPLAY=:0 sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all
