It sure does, spectacularly well in Twinview mode. although it was necessary
to apply the workaround for:

Bug ID  6798452 Synopsis: X Server will not start on x86 systems with
multiple graphics cards. Reported Against  snv_107 , osol_2008.11
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6798452

which, incidentally, applies to SPARC as well. although on SPARC it
doesn't stop X from starting.

(WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support.

It seems to be a problem on Linux, too.
