Hi There,

I just got given a 5850 by a very kind person Smiley

I am currently trying to install it for some litecoin mining on my main pc (i7 plus GA-Z77X-UD3H MB) running ubuntu 12.04 I have been using the integrated graphics for display purposes up until now and would like to continue to do so, using the radeon for mining only. Is there some way of setting this up so that this is possible?

I have been using cgminer for mining but when I enable the integrated graphics the radeon card is not recognised and when I enable the pci card the intel displays only a load of strange characters..

Has anyone else tried this / have any ideas what the bios settings should be or do i need to do something like a dummy plug on the radeon etc?
