aticonfig --od commands not functioning

[HoboJ]

To put it simply I want to use aticonfig --od-gettemperature to get my gpu's temp for conky to display. Yet that command refuses to work.

I'm running catalyst 10.4 with the radeon hd 4850. Here's the error message I get. It's as if the driver doesn't have support for reading my cards temperature which is absurd if true.

$ aticonfig --od-gettemperature
ERROR - Get temperature failed for the Default Adapter - ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series

works for me

$ aticonfig --odgt

Default Adapter - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4850
                  Sensor 0: Temperature - 50.50 C

4850 mobility + Ubuntu 9.10 + catalyst 10.4

Do a clean install of your drivers. Probably you installed 10.4 on the 10.4pre shipped with ubuntu.

Drivers are installed clean on Arch. They're fully functional with the exception of the --od options with aticonfig.

where's the difficulty in typing:

DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgt

or

DISPLAY=:1 aticonfig --odgt

or (if it's at /usr/local/bin)

DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/bin/aticonfig --odgt

?
