There is a proprietary driver package that you can build that will support them. I have a Guadro 4000 aka GL100GL on my workstation, and am running 6.6 current, and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.40.run, which you can still d/l from NVida's site, for it (I need the proprietary for two screens).
Hope that helps.

Thanks Mark! Will try.
As someone said: you don't need to know everything. You just need to know right person to ask ;-)
