I've never had a whole lot of success with running more than two screens on X.
I say that on a system with three heads and on which I've run up to four for a laugh, but I'm not that happy with it so looking for advice.
I have two nVidia cards, for a total of four outputs. I have these configured in xorg.conf using Xinerama. Hi Toby Is it essential to use Xinerama? While my set up is simpler, with one card two monitors, I don't use Xinerama and am still able to drag across from one monitor to the other.
If I only use the monitors attached to a single card, then I don't need Xinerama, and can use Nvidia's driver's multi-head stuff, which works nicely. However as soon as you throw two (or more) video cards into the mix, Xinerama appears to be the only option.
