For what it's worth, I too have a dual-headed G450 but I was able to 
install and boot at runlevel 5 with no problems. No problems, except 
that my fonts are screwed up somehow. I haven't had time to investigate 
the problem, but it might have something to do with me using Matrox's X 
drivers instead of the default.
