If the miner is functioning correctly, it should be at the bottom of the terminal.
So, if the last thing to appear in the terminal is
[6/9/11 10:12:49 AM] Added GeForce 9600 GSO (#1) (12 CU, local work size of 512)
and it appeared five hours ago. Then what should I be looking to correct?
And just to be sure, the terminal is the command line window, right?
Yes, the terminal is that.
It almost sounds like the miner locked up.
