Hi all,

This post did work for me https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=9239.0 - at least partially. I now have the graphics cards working with the drivers and AMDsdk installed and working. But my graphics card doesn't show up with opencl:

Code:

$ ../poclbm/poclbm.py
No protocol specified
No device specified or device not found, use -d to specify one of the following

[0] AMD Sempron(tm) 145 Processor

running /.clinfo also shows only the processor, not the card.

But the card is installed and the graphics driver sees it:

Code:

$ DISPLAY=:0 sudo aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all

Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
Sensor 0: Temperature - 48.50 C

Thoughts from the group?

see
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7514.msg438546#msg438546

and reboot

Thanks. I tried this but poclbm still doesn't see my video card when running as standard user. However, in the same thread you referenced, someone mentioned running poclbm as root and that does see both my cards. The ati sdk directories are owned by root, but all the files are chmod'd 755, so they should be executable by a non-priv user. Obviously, i'm not going to run my mining as root...

Any ideas?
