Tri monitor information non exsistant?

Hello everyone.

I was researching about using 3 22" wide screen monitors for linux and I can't seem to find any information on it..

So here I ask:
Is anyone running a tri-monitor set-up and was it a hassle to get it working?

Well I am taking the suggestions of hardware from my other post (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55477) but, of course I will have to go SLi if i want more monitors.

Any information on the topic is welcomed. Also, it doesn't matter what size monitors you have, just as long as your running 3 of them.

I would as more questions but i can't really think of any since i havn't found and good resource of information.

Thank you.

Leigh had an xorg.conf file linked to in the Xorg entry in the wiki:

Re: Tri monitor information non exsistant?

While reading that wiki page. I came up with a few more questions.

Can open box work with tri-monitors?
Can this be done with using only 2 nvidia gfx cards?
- The cards don't have to run in SLi not that i think of it, since i am not gaming on this rig.
