Changing fan speed of ATI under linux
#1
Hi I'm runnning debian wheezy with amd catalyst 14.9 and 3 r9 290x and I followed the following guide http://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=chan...nder_linux and when typing the following command DISPLAY=0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd 'set fanspeed 0 60' I get the error ati_pplib_cmd: Unable to open display `0.1'.
aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed. This problem only happens on the 2nd or 3rd card not the 1st one. Thank you for your time.

:0.1, not 0.1

But if you have 290X you should consider od6config instead of amdconfig.

Hi i get the following error when typing in DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd 'set fanspeed 0 60'.
ati_pplib_cmd: Unable to open display `:0.1'.
aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed.

Is X11 running?
#5
On my 1st gpu yes i have X11 and gnome 3 desktop. However on the other 2 cards when i try to hook my monitor to them there is no desktop. so that maybe is the problem something to do with multiple xorg for each gpu maybe?

Sounds like you only have xorg configured to use one GPU. Try running the following command:

Code:
amdconfig --adapter=all --initial -f

You might also want to look over http://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=linux_server_howto and make sure there's nothing else you have missed.

Hi I ran the command amdconfig --adapter=all --initial -f and rebooted and got the same error.

Guess it's an ACL thing, you need to xhost +
