Four FireGL v5600s driving 8 monitors in 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. Our Siggraph 2008 gallery video showed an example of this with the open source FlightGear running across 4 displays (each at 1920 X 1200 pixels) driven by 2 FireGL v7600 accelerators under Linux.

I received an email in response to our gallery posting - upping the ante!  The 10 minute video shows four FireGL v5600 cars driving eight OpenGL-accelerated monitors running the open-source FlightGear software.  Impressive!
