Multimonitoring doesn't need special Windows drivers/software under Linux. I have an nVidia GeForce Ti4600 with the dual DVI outputs and multimonitoring works perfectly. I have tested all of the modes they mentioned in the article (dual view, span and clone) and I haven't had any problems with them under Linux.
I think you're right about the multimonitoring support under Linux games...I haven't seen any so far.
I disagree with this...
I use Codeweavers' Crossover Wine every day to run Lotus Notes (used exclusively by my company) and the Microsoft Office suite under Linux. There are some cases where OOo just doesn't quite get it right so I have to use MS Office in those cases. I have no problems with the day to day use of Crossover and I find that it is extremely stable.
I have been using Crossover Office and Plugin for 6 months without any problems. I have to run Lotus Notes for my work email as well as the occasional foray into Word, Excel and Powerpoint for attachments that don't quite look right in OpenOffice. I even use Internet Explorer for one of our this-only-works-with-Explorer web based apps. These apps (with the exception of Java based pages in Explorer) work extremely well and they are very stable. If anything weird happens, they have "Reset Crossover Office" and "Simulate Windows Reboot" that will usually take care of things.
I went to their site and downloaded a trial (http://www.codeweavers.com/site/products/) of both Office and Plugin before I bought the product. I used it for a month without any pressure from them at all. It works well for me but that isn't the case for everyone. In those cases, it's nice to see that the Codeweavers team is willing to work with users and refund money if you aren't satisfied. That was a big factor in my decision to buy.
