Four FireGL v5600s driving 8 OpenGL-accelerated displays for Linux flight simulation

The most recent Catalyst 8.9 Linux driver enables use of multiple FireGL and FirePro cards to act as a single X server that spans multiple displays, each using OpenGL acceleration. This 10 minute video shows four FireGL v5600 cards driving eight monitors running FlightGear under Ubuntu 8.04. It joins a similar MultiView example from Siggraph 2008.
