Try removing any references to GPU 0 from your xorg.conf

You can do this by reinitializingn (assuming adapter 1 is GPU 1):
aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=1

I tried this but when booting Linux it didn't give a login screen.  Connecting remotely, X Server was not active so couldn't use the GPU.  I usually have to login on the console for X Server to start.  I had to revert the settings to --adapter=all.  I only have the one video card in this PC but maybe I can try this again when I can make this a secondary card.  I am expecting a new power supply in a few days and should be able to try this after that is installed.

Thanks.  I will try that and see what happens.

You'll probably get a response faster if you post in the right forum.

Being a Newbie I can't post there yet.

I have a Radeon HD5970 with a faulty GPU 0 but GPU 1 works fine.  Any attempt to mine on GPU 0 causes the whole graphics card to hang up.  I am using cgminer version 2.4.2 with "-D 1" and this works fine (using GPU 1 only).  Trying cgminer 2.5.0 or 2.6.3 with "-D 1" just hangs the graphics card so there must be some attempt to use GPU 0.  I am running on Linux 32 bit.  Any ideas?
