Dunno. What dd tests? I usually just cat off my 500 to files to check  
working video.

Just double-checked, that's what I'm running as well.

I have exactly the same relevant portions as you, as well as the same  
driver version, so I dunno what's up with yours not working. I don't  
have a 350 in the same box, but have had it in there in the past  
without any ill effects...
