Dual head Sun Blade 100.

 Greetings all,

 We recently began purchasing Sun Blade 100's with 2 graphics cards for
 some of our designers.
 
 Our normal practice is to jumpstart incoming machines with the most recent
 2.8 and patch bundle. However, these dual-headed displays will not work
using
 our jumpstart procedure (they will work with the installed software).

 When jumpstarted, the primary display "sort of" works (meaning some overlay
 planes are a bit screwed up. If we remove the second graphics card, the
system works
 correctly. If we run the standard supplied image it all works.

 Sun's recommendation was to grab another set of patches and apply them.
With this
 bundle, there is no suggested patch order (which seems really strange)
making
 installation "interesting" to say the least.

 Has anyone been successful installing 2.8/latest patch bundle on a Sun
Blade 100
 with two (or more) displays? If so, what's the secret?

 TIA,
 Ian
