Install Linux. For now I recommend Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server, and I will be targeting it in this guide.<br/><br/>2. Install prerequisites, including compilers. <br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code:</div><div class="code">sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`</div><br/>3. Install the ATI drivers. The ubuntu packages are old. First, <br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code:</div><div class="code">wget https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-10-x86.x86_64.run</div><br/>(then build dpkgs, need to add instructions here) <br/><br/>-OR-<br/><br/>Try <div class="codeheader">Code:</div><div class="code">apt-cache search fglrx</div> on debian-based systems (including ubuntu). If it's available, do <div class="codeheader">Code:</div><div class="code">sudo apt-get install fglrx</div>, otherwise, download (and you may want to check for an update) using <br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code:</div><div class="code">wget https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-10-x86.x86_64.run</div><br/>4. Run the installer with <div class="codeheader">Code:</div><div class="code">sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-10-10-x86.x86_64.run</div> You may instead want to build packages. This may be added later.<br/><br/>5. Do the initial X configuration with <div class="codeheader">Code:</div><div class="code">sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all -f</div> as root. And restart X. Logging out of X and back in should work. If you get a black screen, try ctrl-alt-f1, hopefully this will get you to a terminal where you can log in and recover.<br/><br/>6. Get the ATI streaming SDK v2.1 NOT v2.2, from here: <a href="http://developer.amd.com/gpu/ATIStreamSDK/pages/ATIStreamSDK-Archive.aspx">http://developer.amd.com/gpu/ATIStreamSDK/pages/ATIStreamSDK-Archive.aspx</a><br/><br/>7. Untar it somewhere, I just used ~/ since it's a dedicated mining machine.<br/><br/>8. Edit your ~/.bashrc and add these lines:<br/><br/><div class="codeheader">Code:</div><div class="code">ATISTREAMSDKSAMPLESROOT=/path/to/the/sdk<br/>ATISTREAMSDKROOT=/path/to/the/sdk<br/></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/></div> text/html
