Support for headless GPU operation???

SDK 2.5 release notes mention headless GPU operation. I have installed SDK 2.6 and Catalyst 11.11 revision 12.1 on Fedora 16 and clinfo shows the cpu if I log into X only.

If the X is running (at login screen),. but I login remotely via ssh only then clinfo only shows CPU devices.

I searched the forums and it appears some people could get headless operation working and some couldnt. What am I doing wrong here? any hints?

For remote login there are also permission issues to deal with. AMD has the following knowledge base article for setting up headless operation:

There are also these instructions:

Hope that helps.
