5. Advanced cgminer settings / FAQ
Scrypt readme
Don't set intensity too high, I=11 is standard and safest. Higher intensity takes more GPU RAM. Check for hardware errors in cgminer (HW). HW=0 is good, otherwise lower intensity :)
Set shaders according to the readme (or look at your graphic cards specifications). Cgminer uses this value at first run to calculate thread-concurrency. Easiest way to get this optimized is to use same settings as others have used here: here.
There's also an interesting project which gives you a GUI for cgminer. Windows only it seems.
Here's a great guide how to get up and running with Xubuntu.
