Re: Need some help with cgminer and 7970

I just started mining litecoins and bitcoins a week ago, and so far I have half a litecoin and .04 BTC. I just got a 7970 to mine litecoins with and I decided to use cgminer since it seems pretty popular.

I have the card installed and the newest drivers, but when I start cgminer I get this:

Code:
[2013-04-25 19:26:45] Started cgminer 3.0.1
 [2013-04-25 19:26:45] ADL found less devices than opencl!
 [2013-04-25 19:26:45] Started cgminer 3.0.1
 [2013-04-25 19:26:45] ADL found less devices than opencl!
 [2013-04-25 19:26:45] There is possibly more than one display attached to a GPU

 [2013-04-25 19:26:45] Use the gpu map feature to reliably map OpenCL to ADL
 [2013-04-25 19:26:45] WARNING: Number of OpenCL and ADL devices did not match!
 [2013-04-25 19:26:45] Hardware monitoring may NOT match up with devices!
 [2013-04-25 19:26:45] Need to specify at least one pool server.
Input server details.

If I input my pool address and name, it crashes after a few seconds. I have already searched the forum for solutions to this, and nothing has worked. I made a dummy plug and extended the display and still get the error. Does anyone know how to fix this?

That's not a whole lot of information to go on.  It'd be helpful to know more about your hardware and software setup.  How many graphics adapters (including any APU) are in the system?  The mention of "more than one display" suggests you're running linux; if so, make sure you have all the dependencies met.  Also, you might have better results  just from using the latest version of cgminer (3.11.4 I believe).
