4 head, dual firemv 2400 radeon support

Hello,

Has anyone been able to configure the 4-head supported, dual FireMV  
2400 chip video card. It is my understanding there is a bridge on the  
card between two 2400 chips. I am able to get only the first pair of  
monitors working, whenever I try to get just the second pair of  
monitors working, the system freezes, and the Xorg.0.log gets binary  
data written to it and is not useful. The xorg.conf file below is a  
failing case, needless to say it seems, all four monitors will not  
work either.

Thank you,
Donald

The card shows up on the bus from lspci as follows:

2400]
