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.
No ideas?
This does not sound like the expected behavior.I will internally follow up on it.
Any new information? We're still running into this .....
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
