Thanks for your help. I'm going to read through your other response in more depth tomorrow and keep looking at this. So far I see no artifacts on the screen and glxgears on this machines (i7-980x with the 5770) does about 940FPS which is fine. I do need to figure out why the console text is gone after udev. I do use the console quite a lot so I need to get that working, but I'm fine in a terminal most of the time so nothing to worry too much about. Dual monitors is a long term requirement but I can live this way for a little while. Again, thanks to you and everyone else who answered.
