Dell sells a 2560x1600 monitor (same resolution as the Apple Cinema display)
with a DisplayPort input, something offered on the newer ThinkPads.
That avoids dual link DVI, but isn't a solution to the problem.  Pick your
poison.

I think the eCS folks are going to need to address the video driver issue
at some point.  I'm running dual head (effectively 3200x1200) using SNAP
on a Matrox G450, but I'm at Warp 4.52; if "upgrading" to eCS 2.x on new
hardware means downgrading my desktop size, it's not going to happen.
