I was so proud when I just managed to get two Dell FP2000s.... Even the 9800 Pro failed to provide hardware 3D when I ran at the native 3200x1200. In Windows it worked, in Linux the glxgears frame rate was correct, but the output window was black. Switching to one of Nvidia's evil closed-source deivces got my hardware 3D at 3200x1200 working. Just the thought of trying to drive 3840x2400 makes me both excited and apprehensive. ;)

Makes my FP2000s look very affordable. :)
