does it show the GPUs in the list once it starts running?

it should show all the possible mining targets that it is setup for, so if you had 2 gpus it should show those on the list (in my experience anyway).

I had an issue where I had to rerun the aticonfig command once I added more GPUs or it would not recognize them.  Mine does not allow me to mine on the CPU however, so I don't know any more than that currently

if i write: cgminer -n, i get:

I think that the gpus are correctly configured.
I will try to update the driver.

I think i had to reinstall the driver after I booted the system with all cards plugged in.  The driver would not auto activate all cards.  So if you install the drivers with 1 card plugged in, then restart and plug all of them in, I had trouble getting it to show them all.  Then i reinstalled the drivers while the system had all cards plugged in and it worked after I re-ran:

sudo aticonfig --adapter=all -f --initiall

Thanks, but If I want to mine BTC everything works fine, I have a doubt....I set the memory GPU clock to 300mhz, but I've seen that a lot of users set an high memory speed (around 1200 for a 5870), my question is: do the LTC mining use also the GPU memory?
