Sorry this took so long, I needed to get hold of a copy of OSX. As anticipated,
OSX would only drive the panel at 1920x1200 on DVI-I-1 (just like nouveau in
non-randr12 mode).

However, with the change you proposed, nouveau will do dual-link on the second
connector without complaining.

What is this? Did Apple cripple a dual-dual-link card so the could sell more
high-end cards instead? Or might this break down if I tried to drive two
dual-link displays simultaneously?
