We have an SL5 system running with 4 monitors, also for a monitoring system.
We are using two 2-head PCI cards, though mainly just because we had these on hand. They are Nvidia-based and we are using the nvidia binary driver. It looks like we used the nvidia-settings utility to set it up (we are running 4 separate X screens, so no Xinerama or Twinview). I believe we are using this card (x2): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187041 Not much to say beyond that it works. Performance isn't that great, but it's a fairly old PC.
