I was wondering if anyone could help me trouble shoot some trouble I am having with (I think) a cgminer mapping issue.

Hello Ckolivas,,
I tested the 5970 in a new Gigabyte motherboard about 2 hours ago after I did the post. Using CGMINER 2.10.5 the card ran about 350 khash/gpu. There was trouble with one of the GPUs running very hot. I solved the heat problem by installing fresh CPU grease, cleaning the lint out of the fins, and adding a 90mm HP server case fan that blow serious air (140 CFM). The card itself appears to be in good shape, it runs.
The system I am running has 4GB ram.
I spent about 4 hours reading through your readme file today. I run 11 cards in my rigs and have printed copies of your readme file on the wall. I have also been through almost every page of this and several other threads. I take notes and change a single setting at a time to better understand what is happening. I also run a watt meter and check voltages and power draws in the rails using a meter.
I understand the --gpu-platform command. I use the --gpu-platform command to run the radion 5380 card that is working. I have problems when I swap out the 5830 card and install the 5970.
I agree with you that it might be faster/easier/cheaper to use a pair of 5850's in place of a 5970. I did a google search, read the readme file again, and searched the support thread but did not locate my situation. I figured if I posted perhaps someone else might understand better than I do what is going. I thought it was kind of a cool technical problem to learn from. I did not mean to waste your time or appear helpless. I want to make it work!
Can you give me a quick clue as to the problems you see? I have done all I can think to do with --gpu-platform, the -d switch, and --gpu-map
I will share the solution, document it as best I can, and try to grow the knowledge base.
(Or I will just use it as a space heater)
Thank you,
