If I put & symbol in the password after --pass option the script says Bad password. Should I try the password with quotes?

Yes

I have a problem. I got an XFX 6850 card overclocked to 900 core clock and 1150 memory clock with SDK version 2.4 and driver version 11.4.
When I try to use poclmb, I can't get more than ~2 Mhash/s! But when I'm using DiabloMiner I get up to ~200 Mhash/s. Anybody know whats causing this?

You probably have the CPU selected as the device to mine with. Change your -d/--device setting. For SDK 2.4 device 0 should be the first GPU. (it's 1 on earlier SDK versions)

So I should just add -d 0 to the command? Okay, I'll try that!

Edit: Yes! thank you! Now I get ~230 Mhash/s

Edit2: Okay, I got another computer with a sapphire 5770 card running with no overclock, SDK version 2.1 and driver version 10.11 (Because I read that these were the best ones on 5xxx cards, is this true?), and when I try to start poclbm, I get this error:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "poclbm.py", line 3, in <module>
  File "pyopencl\__init__.pyo", line 3, in <module>
  File "pyopencl\_cl.pyo", line 12, in <module>
  File "pyopencl\_cl.pyo", line 10, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

Again, DiabloMiner works fine :/

Just thought I would report my results on a 2011 MacBook Pro, running an AMD Radeon HD 6750M, in Windows 7 (Pro 64bit), SDK v2.4, -v -w 128 = about 72 Mhash/s

[Hello]

Hi all
I have radeon mobile 5650.
Try to run, but have error

This OpenCL build requires version 1.4.879, version 1.4.692 installed

I install lasst drivers (11.5) and last AMD APP SDK from http://developer.amd.com/gpu/AMDAPPSDK/Pages/default.aspx
Can you help me?

[raffomania]

Hey,
I use an AMD Radeon X1900. gpu caps viewer says that it has OpenCL 1.1, but at the OpenCL-tab it only displays my AMD Athlon dualcore CPU. When I try to mine at deepbit.net, I always get the "authentication failed, check hardware" error. What can I do?

Thanks!

miner consume only 60% of GPU on 6990

What is wrong, and how to use 100% of GPU ??

-f1

[biochem]

-f1

it is significantly  better now!!!
I've got 85%  on average now!!!

PS. mining in the slush pool.

EDIT: you sound like a noob so you had better read the OP (and whatever else you can get your hands on) ... and watch the temp.s if you are going to thrash these cards with mining or you'll fry your cores....

$aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt

get nervous with core temp above 80 C ... I keep mine 70 or below.

-v drop GPU consumption to 70 on average.

I've got few boxes with 2x5970 under archlinux and ubuntu, running for months  and never have such problems like I've got with 6990, so I'm completely disoriented 

And I keep temperature automatically by changing corerate

Okay, sorry about the noob comment then.

I would have thought the 6990 was v. similar to 5970 but there ya go. I think it sounds like from some of the other threads that SDK 2.4 and 11.4 driver is better with 6990 ... also maybe phoenix miner might be different  with high AGGRESSION setting ...

Sorted!
SDK 2.4  give more than 95% for each GPU on 6990, while SDK 2.3 only can do no more than 65% of load....

What's "corerate" ... is that utility in linux?

No it is core rate, nothing to do with any linux progs.

I see that when the internet is disconnected and then reconnects poclbm doesn't resume. Would a router giving a dedicated 192... address solve this ? Or a static IP ? I mean is there a solution that when theres an internet disconnection poclbm resumes ?

Are you using latest version? There were some issues in older releases.

I'm using the latest. Are you saying the latest version shouldn't stop mining after an IP change ? Cause that's exactly what it does. :|

[presha]

this propably has been asked before but... how can I automatically restart the miner after it crashes? been doing some heavy oc lately and when I came back from work my poclbm window was gone.. prolly the drivers crashed cus I think I set the voltage too low. any hints? been searching the forums but no results so far :>
