Quad-Buffered OpenGL in Linux

I have an application running on a Windows7 system here with an AMD FirePro V5900 in it that uses Quad-Buffered OpenGL contexts for some visuals.  Works just great.

I've just rebooted into my Ubuntu 12.10 partition, exact same hardware, and the application runs but the quad-buffered contexts don't appear.  I had this happening on windows and had to launch the Catalyst control center and enable Quad-Buffering, and that fixed it.  However, on Linux it's telling me that I can only enable it if I use a single monitor? (or dual-monitors in clone-mode)?  Surely this is a glitch.

Running the 9.00.11-120920a driver.

This does not sound like the expected behavior.I will internally follow up on it.

Unfortunately I was wrong and what you experience is the expected behavior for Linux.

Sorry

Is there any way to enable this functionality? (different driver, different card, special X configuration, etc)

For Linux there is currently no way to get stereo when multiple monitors are connected.

Sorry
