Hi !

I have 2 R9 270 X and when i use cgwatcher just one card start the card number 2 don't start why ?

Can you start the miner using CGWatcher, wait a minute or two until the miner is running and CGWatcher is monitoring it, then go to the Tests tab and locate the Utilities section in the middle... then select "Show last miner start configuration" and click Run... then email me the results? If it is a problem with a setting, this report should show it.


Cgwatcher is reporting config file problem when following sequence appears:
Code:
"scan" : [
"noauto",
"dualminer:all",
"gridseed:all",
"opencl:auto"
],
"set-device" : [
"dualminer:clock=800",
"gridseed:clock=850"
]

Last version of Bfgminer works with mentioned lists, cgwatcher not. I was trying to edit config file with config editor and to check "not validate" the file, but error on saving settings still persists and config file is not accepted. Workaround not so elegant is to remove from config and put the same instructions in arguments line.

I still have to add support for these multi-value settings. Right now it is designed to accept a string of text for these particular settings, so when it gets a collection of strings it breaks. As you've discovered, the temporary solution is to set these in arguments. You can still use the rest of the config file, but any time you're listing multiple values for a setting it has to be done in arguments currently. I'll definitely work on fixing this.
