Interesting. Perhaps it supports only a few commands but not others since it does show up as a discrete device. What can you set manually with other software? Are GPU speeds linked for example?

aticonfig seems to show them as separate, including different temps:

Code:
$ aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all

Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 100.00 C

Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 100.00 C

Adapter 2 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series 
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 90.00 C

Adapter 3 - ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 97.50 C

Adapter 4 - ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
            Sensor 0: Temperature - 93.50 C

I also can set the clocks on both cards separately:

Code:
$ aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all

*snip unrelated cards*

Adapter 3 - ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
                            Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)
           Current Clocks :    725           1000
             Current Peak :    725           1000
  Configurable Peak Range : [550-1000]     [1000-1500]
                 GPU load :    99%

Adapter 4 - ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
                            Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)
           Current Clocks :    726           1000
             Current Peak :    726           1000
  Configurable Peak Range : [550-1000]     [1000-1500]
                 GPU load :    0%

cgminer doesn't see the temp sensors on the second GPU though:

Code:
GPU 3: [322.9 / 319.7 Mh/s] [Q:119  A:164  R:1  HW:0  E:138%  U:4.25/m]

cgminer won't let me change anything on GPU4 either:

Code:
Select GPU to change settings on: 4
Fan autotune is disabled
GPU engine clock autotune is disabled
Change [A]utomatic [E]ngine [F]an [M]emory [V]oltage [P]owertune
Or press any other key to continue
Get enginerange not supported
Enter GPU engine clock speed (0 - 0 Mhz):
Value is outside safe range, are you sure?
