FWIW I couldn't get it to run on a dual-head system either (Mandriva, 
mixed cards & monitors) so I posted a note on Mandriva forum & got no 
response. I assumed dual head + 3D was being greedy, & quit...

It does work on either head singly. This was Mandriva's Metisse (Vista 
looking, I'm told) desktop.

If it does work, I'd be pleased!
