I am running 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux with the FirePro 2460. This is a single GPU with 4 heads. I can get 3 monitors working fine each running under a different xserver DISPLAY name, :0.0, :0.1, :0.2. When I add the fourth monitor, I end up with the following error in Xorg.0.log

[4.063] (EE) fglrx(3): Display Infrastructure Failed Due to Hardware Limitation
[4.063] (EE) fglrx(3): PreInit failed

Is this the correct place to pose this question? I have attached xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log if anyone can direct me to an answer or the correct place to ask the question.

Thanks, Donald Kayser

Just in case anyone else finds this post, I have an answer from AMD.

"You cannot connect 4 different DVI monitors. You should only connect them through the Display Port. All Display Port monitors can share a single clock whereas each DVI monitor needs its own clock, so the number of possible DVI/HDMI connections is limited."

FYI. I was able to get two pairs of identical monitors to work. Each at its own resolution.
