What does this mean?
bit@Bit:~$ aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all
aticonfig: This program must be run as root when no X server is active
I just bought a new computer, had a computer shop make it, and went through all the steps but I can't tell what number my GPUs are. I am mining successfully on my CPU so it works, but why won't my cards show up?
You need an X server running in order to do basically anything with the ATI drivers in Linux. This isn't a problem with the miner. Without an X server running your GPUs are not visible to OpenCL so they can't be used for mining.
Find a setup guide for mining on Linux. I'm not sure if they go over setting up an X server though.
