On a bit of a side note- to avoid having this one GPU running hotter than the others, is it at all possible to use built-in on board video to drive the display? I've tried under Ubuntu Server 12.04LTS; the display works, then when the "aticonfig --initial -f" is run it creates an xorg.conf that tries to take over the display...
After correcting the xorg.conf to run on the built-in video, I try an "aticonfig --odgt" and get:
"X needs to be running to perform ATI Overdrive commands"
