@ -729,7 +729,9 @@ Q: The CPU usage is high.
A: The ATI drivers after 11.6 have a bug that makes them consume 100% of one
CPU core unnecessarily so downgrade to 11.6. Binding cgminer to one CPU core on
windows can minimise it to 100% (instead of more than one core). Driver version
11.11 on linux and 11.12 on windows appear to have fixed this issue.
11.11 on linux and 11.12 on windows appear to have fixed this issue. Note that
later drivers may have an apparent return of high CPU usage. Try
'export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1' on Linux before starting cgminer.

A: I can, but time is limited, and people who donate are more likely to get

Q: The fanspeed starts at 85% with --auto-fan. Can I set it lower?
A: The initial fanspeed will always start at 85% unless you choose your own
value with --gpu-fan. In this case it will use the value you give it with
--gpu-fan as the first fanspeed.

speed unless overheat is detected.
Q: Why is my efficiency above/below 100%?
A: Efficiency simply means how many shares you return for the amount of work

Q: Which ATI SDK is the best for cgminer?
A: At the moment, versions 2.4 and 2.5 work the best. If you are forced to use
the 2.6 SDK, -v 1 -w 64 might help, along with not decreasing your memory clock
speed.
Q: ATI 79XX support?
A: Work in progress. Still needs a lot of work to get a good hashrate.

Q: GUI version?

@ -825,6 +824,22 @@ A: Start cgminer with your regular commands and add -D -T --verbose and provide
the full startup output and a summary of your hardware, operating system, ATI
driver version and ATI stream version.
Q: cgminer reports no devices or only one device on startup on Linux although
I have multiple devices and drivers+SDK installed properly?
A: Try 'export DISPLAY=:0" before running cgminer.
Q: My network gets slower and slower and then dies for a minute?
A; Try the --net-delay option.
Q: How do I tune for p2pool?
A: p2pool has very rapid expiration of work and new blocks, it is suggested you
decrease intensity by 1 from your optimal value, and decrease GPU threads to 1
with -g 1.
Q: Are kernels from other mining software useable in cgminer?
A: No, the APIs are slightly different between the different software and they
will not work.
