I'm also quite interested in seeing this work.  I have the same
Dell (i.e. two DVI-D outputs and with two VGA outputs) setup, and 
getting the same results.

What's worse, I already told my boss and coworkers how great Linux
was and how "Sure it can handle that dual monitor setup, no problem."

Come on...  I'll even send in some pizza money for this one... Just
tell me where.

Thanx.
