Hi folks. I have an AMD machine with an ATI HD 6870 card. I have both Fedora 27 and Windows 8.1 loaded.
For some reason I cannot find a winning combination where the software would recognise the hardware.
I was told that Windows was easier to set up, even that's causing problems -- the miner software, no matter which one I tried,
never can find the GPU.

I tried the AMD APP SDK 2.9 and 3.0.
I tried radeon crimson beta 16.2, Win7 Crimson relive beta blockchains, win10 crimson relive beta blockchain..
I tried older drivers -- the really old ones cannot detect this hardware unfortunately.
I tried guiminer, easyminer, cgminer..

I would appreciate your assistance in finding something that WORKS..
(Yeah, I realize GPU mining won't amount to much..)
Thanks!
