Does this work? According to the 10.10 release notes, the 6800 series is supported, so 10.11 should have that support too.

actually I can get it working, try adding some ppa:s, I think that was what made it work out for me.
Yesterday I found out I get two clearly different values when using this two different commands, and my only conclusion is that they read from different graphic cards (as I have two, one 4850 and one 6850).
this one only reads from my 6850:
and this one only reads from my 4850:Code:aticonfig --pplib "get temperature *" Temperature for thermal controller 0 is 43.500000
hope maybe adding the ppa:s will help some.Code:aticonfig --od-gettemperature Default Adapter - ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series Sensor 0: Temperature - 74.00 C
someone else having this strange sensor-reading "errors"?

I installed Catalyst 10.10 and it works. I'm not sure about 10.11.. maybe I'll try it later. Also after installing it's necessary to manually edit xorg.conf.
maybe try with
I just checked and I am using catalyst 10.10.Code:aticonfig --pplib "get temperature 0"
Anyone more than me who got this "AMD Unsupported hardware" thing in the bottom right corner?
Another thing too, just searched in the aticonfig --help, and it does not even mention --pplib, is not that strange?

Is not this thread in the complete wrong section?
Maybe someone "admin" want to move this thread to a more suitable place?The Community Cafe

Moved to General Help
Another update, I started into MS Windows just to see how things looked there, and the fan on the 4850 were at 25%, the lowest possible setting. Raising it to about 50% made no additional noise and I had a stable computer again (when using Windows).
Now, please ATI/AMD, release your next linux driver!

Just to update the thread a little have I made a "script" which displays both my graphic cards temperatures and sends it to notify-osd. It is almost perfect, but to me that is enough.(it shows a little misplaced Ra in the first line, coming from Radeon)
I am using it togheter with xbindkeys and have assigned it a keyboard shoutcut. Maybe someone will find it as useful as I find it.
it must be on the same line, and therefore it looks quite long above.Code:notify-send -i jockey "GPU temps" "`aticonfig --od-gettemperature | awk '{print substr($5,0,2)}' && aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get temperature 0" | awk '{print substr($7,0,2)}' `"
Hi
I have a HD 6950 in my new Coumputer and the Driver in the repository is not working, I get a black screen when I boot. The last thing that could be seen is "Too many conections."
Without the fglrx-Driver the resolution is 1280*980 or something like that, what is not accaptable for a FullHD monitor... ;( Catalyst 10.11 creates only errors, too.
Have you any ideas how to get a proper resolution (maybe with some desktop effects *sigh*)?
Thank you very much, I hope everythings understandable... (I'm german)
