Q: Can I mine on both Nvidia and AMD GPUs at the same time?
A: No, you must run one instance of cgminer with the --gpu-platform option for
each.

Q: Cgminer stops mining (or my GPUs go DEAD) and I can't close it?
A: Once the driver has crashed, there is no way for cgminer to close cleanly.
You will have to kill it, and depending on how corrupted your driver state
has gotten, you may even need to reboot. Windows is known to reset drivers
when they fail and cgminer will be stuck trying to use the old driver instance.
Q: I can't get any monitoring of temperatures or fanspeed with cgminer when
I start it remotely?
A: With linux, make sure to export the DISPLAY variable. On windows, you
cannot access these monitoring values via a remote session.
Q: I switch users on windows and my mining stops working?
A: That's correct, it does. It's a permissions issue that there is no known
fix for.
