Hi,

After I ssh or vnc to my linuxcoin rig, I run aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all or any aticonfig command, the system say:

No protocol specified
ERROR - X needs to be running to perform ATI Overdrive(TM) commands

Can anyone help me?

You can try setting your DISPLAY environment variable.  You can check it by starting a terminal in the GUI and running
Code:
echo $DISPLAY
My scripts write it into a file for use in non-GUI stuff.

I get that error all the time, it is the DISPLAY variable.  Put DISPLAY=:0 before any aticonfig or AMDOverdriveCtrl commands over ssh or vnc.  It should it should look like this
Code:
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all
This will solve segmentation fault errors with miners also when using remote access.  May be a better way of setting it, but I'm not great with linux and this works well for me.
