I'm gpu-mining ok with these advices in Debian testing.

But I have a problem: when I switch to other tty (CTRL-ALT-Fn), mining stops. The process still stands but miner lost connection with gpu.

In this forum I read about starting the miner even with ssh-terminal! But I don't see how... every recipe fails (i.e putting "DISPLAY :0" at the beginning).

Any clues? TIA

Read through this thread, all the clues are in here.  I mean, the clue(s) are even in the guide itself.  Come on, man.


I've tried everything: there's no way to activate gpu's from terminals out of the current X-display. Order,

Code:
$ ./poclbm

gives only CPU as mining device when launched in, say, tty0. No matter if I launch a "screen" instance, or if I insist about "DISPLAY=:0" at the beginning.

I suspect, a fundamental difference between Debian and Ubuntu is the key. But I have no expertize on this.  Huh
