So i've managed to install 3 GPU's on my Kali Linux install and they are running fine and shown in pyrit list_cores.

However I am having a weird problem crop up that I can't seam to solve and I've searched everywhere however I am unsure as to what the problem would even be described as.

My system is consisted of the following

- Kali Linux 1.0.9 HDD install
- 3 x HD7950
- Installed and running with AMD APP SDK 2.9.1
- CAL++ 0.4.0
- Pyrit complied and running fine

Now at that point where I installed all the pre req to use a GPU with pyrit it would only see 1 of the GPU's

Now the problem started when I read up online that I have to modify my .bashrc and add "export DISPLAY=:0" and then reconfigure the xorg.conf with "sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial -f"

Once I reboot all 3 GPU's are now shown in pyrit and available and everything is fine, but on the desktop I see 3 of everything. 3 if the same terminal windows show up in the toolbar (but only one on the desktop) 3 date times up to as well as 3 applications folders, 3 "root", 3 workspaces etc.

And the weird thing is every time I reboot more keep showing up until it gets to a point where the entire screen is filled with them and I have to do a complete reinstall of Kali Linux.

I tried re doing .bashrc and removing the "export DISPLAY=:0" and reconfiguring the xorg.conf but it didn't do anything and all the windows and workspaces etc keep multiplying

Here is a screen shot of the problem
