I'm sure the OS and driver matters. I've been using Fedora Core with
Dual monitors for a while now. I use the radeon driver that comes with
x.org for my cheap and old  Radeon 7500.  Even with  MergedFB set no GL
application shows anything on the second monitor. This is not a problem
for me as I usually have at least one monitors worth of gvim windows. 

The person you are talking about may have to do some real testing or
research about the OS, hardware, and driver combination before getting
going.
