I was the single monitor issue, on the single monitor it does not reboot unless you set probe_all_gpu's *BUT* it does fail to reconize all nVidia cards (so does nv)... as far I can tell neither drive understands 64bit io space and PCI/AGP... the clue is the addr conflicts that everyone seems to get... btw I think it might of fried my 8k but at least gives me vesa with no werid video probs on the 5200 GT I have now (1024x768 ;-()).
