Ubuntu 13.10 & amd-catalyst-13.4-linux-x86.x86_64.zip
xorg.conf created by

Thereafter, i modify it with next /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I have partially solve this trouble with --gpu-platform 0:

....

But what is it?
Trying to open directly...Device open failed
Why does it trying to open device disabled by module directive in the xorg.conf?
And how to specify platform for phoenix miner?
There is only one option in phoenix config:
name = GPU 0 #The name to display the device as (default is device ID if not specified)

It doesn't help.
