Hardware:
XFX 5770
2x Dell 2209WA (1680x1050) (VGA, DVI)
1x V7 22" (1680x1050) (VGA,DVI)
1x Accell Active Displayport->single-link DVI

I know that triple screens work in Windows (able to get all three up on Windows in extended mode, and group mode)

Question
1) During BIOS/Grub/Boot screens, only 2 out of the 3 screens show up mirrored. Is this normal?
2) Ubuntu 10.04 x64, I can't seem to get triple screen working. I have ATI proprietary drivers installed, and the 3rd display is 'disabled' on the Catalyst Control Center. Do I really have to play around with xorg.conf myself?
Fixed this problem by using a beta linux x64 ATI CCC driver from ATI's website... triple screens work fine now
