Here's a couple useful tricks for working with your graphics cards:
To display the temperature of your cores:
aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all
To display the clock speeds of your cores:
aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all
To show or set your fan speed:
Shows fan speed
aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0"
Sets fan speed to 100%
aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 100"

Sets fan speed to 100%
aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 100"
So, I googled around and tried to look in the documentation for this, but I could sort it out. How do you set the fan speed back to the point where it can be automatically controlled? At boot it seems to do a decent job but when I mess with it I have to just leave it at a fixed setting. A tried `aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 auto"` but that seemed to just set it to 0 (I think...I don't remember).

No idea what "Barts" is...but I'm going to try mining with it!
"Barts" is the ATI codename for the 6800 chipset. "Cayman" is the 6900 series.
As far as permission denied: yeah either your user doesn't have permissions or the file isn't executable, e.g. "chmod a+x phoenix.py" & cetera.
Hey, the issue was that I had done several of the steps from the howto as root ( as opposed to using sudo ). I chown'd all the poclbm.py and other python files and its working now.
Its pulling 247000 khash/s...which is well over 4 times what the imac is doing....not sure if thats good or not, but I'm going to sleep regardless.
I do have the AMD drivers installed. I did that bit last night when I installed Ubuntu. Good thought though....I had to double check to make sure I had done that.
Weird enough, now that I'm logged into the front end, I get this:

Edit: nope. Same "permission denied" error message. I wonder if I messed up some ownership somewhere...

Hey there, I think I've about got everything sorted but I've got one last hangup. poclbm.py doesn't list the graphics card.
I installed SDK 2.4, but other than that I followed the 64bit portion of the guide. Well written too, thanks a lot.
I also tried testing pool mining on the CPU to see if I did everything right...but I think I've missed something because this is what I get:
I did some searching around in the thread here, and read through much of it to solve my other problems, but nothing no this front. I appreciate any insight.
EDIT: I'm not sure if it matters. The machine currently has a monitor installed, but I did all the config remotely. I'm not planning on leaving a monitor attached to it, but I'm going to run it as a headless server/miner.
Thanks
