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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
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.
