Direct Rendering Infrastructure

Few days ago I read an article on the register (www.theregister.co.uk) which 
talks about ATI road map..

One of the things that they mentioned there is that they are planning to 
release a "PRO" version with 2 Radeon's on a single card.

My question is: Will it be supported? or will it be like the destiny of the 
Rage 128Pro (which we have here on the lab and the 2nd processor is not 
supported) or will it be supported somehow?

Thanks

At this point, there are no plans to support it.
