Gnaffel! It's working!  poclbm is showing 308 Mhash/s per core without any tweaking.  Seems I wasn't using the 'python' command and 'user='  Not pool mining yet, just testing.  Throwing out some serious heat - 84C core after several minutes. The phoenix command still errors with 'failed to connect.'  Is this how it's normally done; start poclbm and then phoenix?

Thanks; I sent you coin.



Welcome to the world of Bitcoin mining

84C is a little high, i keep mine going between 74C - 79C, play around with aticonfig: aticonfig -h (ati help)
aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all (GPU temperature), aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all (shows clock speed), aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" (shows fan speed)

or try AMDOverDriveCtrl: http://sourceforge.net/projects/amdovdrvctrl/

The phoenix error is because you haven't set a valid pool account.

Normally you only need one miner (poclbm or phoenix) going for one gpu card or 2 gpu's on crossfire.
