Hey everyone, I'm a "newbie", so I can't post this in the DiabloMiner thread where this post belongs, so here goes...

Anyways, here's my system specs:

iMac 2011 (27")
3.4ghz i7 2600, 12GB RAM, 6970M 2GB.
Running version 10.6.8 of Mac OS X.

Here's the DiabloMiner start line (info for mining.bitcoin.cz replaced with "REMOVED"):
./DiabloMiner-OSX.sh -u REMOVED.REMOVED -p REMOVED -o api2.bitcoin.cz -r 8332

Here's what it spits out (all fine AFAIK):
[7/18/11 2:11:57 PM] Started                                                
[7/18/11 2:11:57 PM] Connecting to: http://api2.bitcoin.cz:8332/            
[7/18/11 2:11:57 PM] Using Apple OpenCL 1.0 (Jan  2 2011 18:00:11)          
[7/18/11 2:12:00 PM] Added ATI Radeon HD 6970M (#1) (10 CU, local work size of 256)

Here's what happens after 1 minute or so of running:
[7/18/11 2:14:08 PM] ERROR: Invalid solution 1 from ATI Radeon HD 6970M (#1), possible driver or hardware issue

That error is spammed ~50 times a second, until I quit DiabloMiner.

Anyone have any help? I used to mine at a paltry 10 mhash/sec with my old computer, and I was excited to start mining again with this new card/computer, but the errors mean that mining just won't work until I figure out a fix Sad.

Thanks anyways!
