What is the result of connecting a single link (DVI-D) video source to a dual link monitor?

I'm trying to connect a new Mac Mini to a Barco monitor. The Barco
monitor expects a dual link video source (2048 x 1536 /1536 x 2048) but
the Mini is outputing single link DVI-D. The Mac sees the monitor as
having a resolution of 1280x1024. Apple makes a dual link DVI adapter
but I don't know if this will allow the Barco to work properly. Anyone
have any experience with this kind of setup?
The Mac Pro does have a dual link video but I'm not sure if that system
would also have the same problem. The Barco site only describes MS
Windows systems and provides drivers for the same.

P.S. BTW, we did connect a Totoku 3MP display (2048x1536) which uses a
DVI-D connection and that display worked at full resolution.
