Hey--I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 (x64), and when I try to change any settings with atioc (1.05) I get "Error setting overdrive parameter, error:-1". I have the requisite qt libs installed and have a HD3870 that supports overdrive (as far as I know)--does any one know what this error means?

Thanks for the reply sabby--I'm running Catalyst 10.3. When I run aticonfig this is what I get:
Code:$ aticonfig --od-getclocks Default Adapter - ATI Radeon HD 3870 Core (MHz) Memory (MHz) Current Clocks : 300 1152 Current Peak : 800 1152 Configurable Peak Range : [300-885] [1152-1387] GPU load : 0%
Thanks again!

Originally posted by sabby View PostThat means that at least the major part of OD5 is supported, you should be seeing those value also in the GUI? Does the app contains those value when you start it or is it all blank? If it does contain those value then I'm assuming the error is probably related to fan speed throttling not being supported, I have seen that many time so far. It would show up as the fan control area being grayed out.
Here's some screenshots of the tabs:

The fan speed is grayed out, but I can activate it by clicking the check box to the left.

Originally posted by sabby View PostLet's put aside the voltage difference since it might happen because the voltage would be throttled after the app started. However try putting the voltage a little bit lower than the max value, try say 1258mv since that's what it was in the info that. Do you still have the error when you click ok? If so verify with aticonfig if any of the new value shows up.- I can set the GPU clock lower or higher with atioc, and verify it with 'aticonfig --od-getclocks'
- I can set the memory clock higher, but not lower (lower gives the "error:-1", and is unchanged in aticonfig)
- The voltage is the same as the memory--I can go higher (or the same value) but not lower without the "error:-1"; however, even when I set it higher it doesn't show the change on the info tab
- Also, after I get an "error:-1" I can't change anything any more unless I click "restore defaults"

Originally posted by sabby View PostJust a few more test I would like you to run try with aticonfig to set the memory clock lower at the same value that cause the app to have a -1 error. I don't have the at the aticonfig utility here but I believe it should be something like that
Code:aticonfig --od-setclocks=0,1100
Code:ERROR - Set clocks failed for Default Adapter - ATI Radeon HD 3870 Please check that input values were valid
