sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx

Install pre-requisites for ATI video drivers and cgminer. ( all one line )

sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases i386 libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config automake yasm

Install the ATI video driver

cd /tmp

wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-linux-x86.x86_64.zip

unzip amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-linux-x86.x86_64.zip

chmod +x amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-linux-x86.x86_64.zip

Open up terminal emulator and run:

sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-4-x86.x86_64.run

Initialize video cards and add setup to X config.

sudo aticonfig --adapter=0,1 --initial

sudo reboot

Install git and download the lates cgminer version.

sudo apt-get install git

git clone git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git cgminer

Install AMD APP SDK

mkdir amdapp_2-8

cd amdapp_2-8

tar -zxvf ~/Downloads/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8-lnx32.tgz

sudo ./Install-AMD-APP.sh

sudo reboot

Install AMD ADL SDK and add to cgminer.

mkdir ADL_SDK

cd ADL_SDK

mv ~/Downloads/ADL_SDK_5.0.zip .

unzip ADL_SDK_5.0.zip

cp include/* ../cgminer/ADL_SDK

Install cgminer

cd ../cgminer

./autogen.sh

CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native -I /opt/AMDAPP/include/" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86_64" ./configure --enable-scrypt

make

Create the cgminer config folder

Open terminal emulator

cd cgminer

./cgminer

press CTL C when it ask you for pool information to stop cgminer

close terminal window open

Create config file

Double click on the home button on your desktop

Click on view and check "Show Hidden Files"

Double click on the .cgminer folder ( don't confuse with the cgminer folder without the period )

Right click and create a new blank document and name it cgminer.conf

Double click to open cgminer.conf

Copy and paste the content below to your cgminer.conf file
