No the FireGL card does not work 'out of the box' dualhead VGA with FC1 
XFree and the problem continues with the latest Fedora development XFree 
4.3  - 45(?).   Apparently Fedora Bug #108963  is still active.  The 
FireGL does work for me under DRI CVS merged FB, or at least it did laid 
over a  pure FC 1.  Note to the original poster:  the X config file for 
DRI CVS is substantially different than FC1 so you lose your FC1 config 
tools compatibility.

--> Also recall that FC1 locked up on a graphical install w/ both heads 
attached, VGA or otherwise.  I expect X 4.3 - 45 is going to give the 
same results on the imminent FC 2 Test 1.
