No chance with > nouveau. I have 3 Screens working with one desktop here: HDMI ----------------------- Monitor1 | 8400 card -| | DVI-- Monitor2 DVI ---- TripleHead2Go-| DVI-- Monitor3 You just need a Matrox TripleHead2Go. To use 4 screens you'd need two of them. Nouveau works, but currently the xinerama-info can not be tweaked. That means my KDE doesn't know about the 3 screens and pops up windows in between. I've read that it can be tweaked with a custom libxinerama but I haven't looked into it yet. So I'm currently still running the Nvidia blob. Just as note: I'm not using xinerama, but 1 big screen on one card. Nonetheless xinerama information is used to tell the desktop about the screens in use.
