For what it is worth, dual monitors work in Fedora 21.

Title:
  dual monitors do not work on Mac Pro black cylinder

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  How do I get dual monitors working on a Mac Pro cylinder? I have two
  thunderbolt connected displays (one on a minidisplay port to dvi
  connector, and the other on a mini displayport to vga connector). If I
  plug only one in, it works. If I plug both in at boot up, than one of
  them will work randomly, and the other will not work at all.

  xrandr -q only shows the working one:

  $ xrandr -q
  xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
  Screen 0: minimum 1600 x 1200, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200
  default connected primary 1600x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm
     1600x1200      77.0* 

  I am using the kernel parameter nomodeset or video does not work at
  all.

  I am trying on Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.13.0.39.46.
