Okay, after another post by someone else pointing me in the right direction I stumbled across this site: http://www.ohmpie.com/mining-on-an-r9-290-in-linux/

This goes into detail on how to patch the latest linux driver (13.12) and actually has a link to some .deb binaries so you may not even need to patch. If you can get that far...

Then you need to recompile cgminer from source, from the tarball linked on their site. I am gonna give it a go here within the next 24 hours. If you don't think you can do this then I'd forget the r9 290s for now... I am familiar with linux and patching source and compiling in linux. Really from what I've read it shouldn't be too difficult (might eat my words on that). Anyway, I'll let you all know if I can get them up running stable and post you all my history log so you can see how I did it. Figured I'd post what I've figured out so far for those technically inclined to move forward themselves.

thank you. after days of linux bashing i gave up as too stressed on time. running win8 with 5 cards for now. if you can get it working and post the log of step by step inputs that you did i (as well as many others) would really appreciate. good luck/.

Once the driver is corrected, and CGMiner is recompiled the R9 290 runs pretty well. I am going to do some more tweaking, and see if I can run more than one R9 290 before I say everything is working 100%. Currently running around 870 KHas/sec with current settings.

I've got 6 detecting with aticonfig --lsa, but cgminer says I've got a ADL count mismatch and only one card will mine. I'm using the "pre-re-compiled" cgminer .tar off the ohmpie page.

Arrgh, going to play with those .deb files tomorrow. I've read the ohmpie page and that forum link too many times tonight, it's all running together. Sounds like those might be pre "fixed" drivers for linux noobs like me Cheesy
