Hey there, I think I've about got everything sorted but I've got one last hangup.  poclbm.py doesn't list the graphics card.  
I installed SDK 2.4, but other than that I followed the 64bit portion of the guide.  Well written too, thanks a lot. 


Code:
$sudo aticonfig --lsa
* 0. 01:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series

* - Default adapter
$./poclbm.py
No protocol specified
No device specified or device not found, use -d to specify one of the following

[0] AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor
$

I also tried testing pool mining on the CPU to see if I did everything right...but I think I've missed something because this is what I get:
Code:
$ ./poclbm.py --device=0 --user=___ --pass=___ --host=btcguild.com --port=8332
No protocol specified

bye

I did some searching around in the thread here, and read through much of it to solve my other problems, but nothing no this front.  I appreciate any insight.

EDIT:  I'm not sure if it matters.  The machine currently has a monitor installed, but I did all the config remotely.  I'm not planning on leaving a monitor attached to it, but I'm going to run it as a headless server/miner.

Thanks
