hd7990 driver issue

[raist2]

Hello, I was using latest hashcat on ubuntu and catalyst 13.4, all worked fine when I was using an "old" hd7990 club 3d edition; clinfo correctly showed the two 7970 at 900 mhz clock.
Now I moved to a Sapphire hd7990 (21207-00-50G), the one with 1 ghz clock and I can't see it.
I upgraded to new ubuntu 13.10 with kernel 3.11.0.12 and installed latest catalyst software 13.11-beta-v9.4.
It installed ok, xorg start well but still both clinfo and hashcat can't see the 7990 card.
Any idea? do I need to use a specific catalyst version?
cheers,
ivan

sudo amdconfig --initial -f --adapter=all

Thanks for your answer Atom, unfortunately it doesn't work.
I already tried it and did it again after your answer.
Still clinfo shows only my xeon cpu and no GPU
Any other ideas?

What does 'lspci | grep VGA' show?

What does 'lspci | grep VGA' show?

root@cracker:~# lspci|grep -i amd
06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Malta [Radeon HD 7990]
06:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Tahiti XT HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 7970 Series]
07:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Malta [Radeon HD 7990]


root@cracker:~# lspci|grep -i vga
06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Malta [Radeon HD 7990]

I'd say it's definitely there...
weird thing is I have a working X11 desktop...

what does 'amdconfig --lsa' show? what driver does Xorg.log show that you're using? have you tried re-installing the driver? do you have dkms installed?

Thanks epixoip, here what you ask:

Xorg.log, not xorg.conf. Anyway, those were rhetorical questions, I wasn't requesting that information from you. Just trying to get you to start troubleshooting in the right places. In the end you'll likely find that your driver is only half installed, and that re-running the installer fixes your issues.

Thanks epixoip, I was pasting my conf just to avoid rhetorical answers
I checked all conf file, reinstalled anything twice and I'm quite sure I did it good.

Reading your previous post (http://hashcat.net/forum/thread-2404.html) you say 7990 only works with Catalyst 13.6 beta. Do you think downgrading the actual latest catalyst to a previous version can help?


Having a look into xorg log file I see this:

What I don't understand is:

[ 16.634] ukiOpenDevice: open result is 17, (OK)
[ 16.634] ukiGetBusid returned 'PCI:6:0:0'

And it goes searching till /dev/ati/card15
What do you think?
