looks like xwindows isn't happy. try (logged in as root, never sudo):
/opt/bamt/start_mining pre
(let it sit there for a bit)
and
xauth merge /home/user/.Xauthority
all that happens on boot anyway, but sometimes if your rig boots slowly it can happen too soon.
the best test for if its fixed is:
atitweak -s
if atitweak can't list your cards, the ADL libs aren't working and BAMT isn't going to have any joy.
That did the trick, just running the /opt/bamt/start_mining pre and everything suddenly appeared on my monitoring machine, then I ran a mine restart to get things hashing. So, how do I make this happen properly during the normal booting sequence?
Thank you for the advice.
