Doesn't work in FC5 for me with the current ATI driver. I followed the
advice of the ubuntu thread and got a newer version of the driver which
worked great. Specifically, I force installed this RPM and now have a
the dual processor with ATI running two heads:

The Quad with nvidia wouldn't work with our Apple Cinema Display 22" at
resolution 1600x1024. The output was clear but right 1/3 of the screen
appeared on the left, offset from the mouse pointer even. I simply put
an Apple Cinema Display 20" at 1280x1024 and it works fine. I think the
1600x1024 resolution was just too much for the "nv" driver to cope with
somehow, although it worked fine with the ATI card. Fortunately the
previous owner of the 20" monitor runs Mac OS X, and it wasn't hard to
convince them to take the 22" monitor in exchange.
