I haven't got a clue why this hasn't worked for you ? I won't be adding 11.6 to linuxcoin anyway it's very VERY unstable, stick with 11.5 for now.
I got it working now and 11.6 does allow you to overclock outside of BIOS limits. The problem is that I was not installing the drivers properly. The driver seems stable in Ubuntu 11.06, but I guess it has different versions of X and other software.
hugolp,
can you share how you installed catalyst 11.6 on a linuxcoin 0.2a?
TIA

I manged to do it...
You need to have a persistent install of linux
Then use this manual
...
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/DebianBut...
One line in there is
sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg
You need to do
sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run --install
instead... It did not let me build a package (what ever it means)
I did had evantually 1 problem.. You need to uninstall aticatalyst before you install the new one...\and I think I deleted also opencl...
Anyway if you dont want to uninstall the old catalyst you can just do
sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run --install --push
Then it overwrite the files already there... But they say its not good...
