I just bought a bunch of nvidia pcie cards, installed the nvidia kernel crap, setup my xorg file and everything worked out of the box. But this was not my goal, I wanted an complete free software based multi seat system working with packages out of main repository. But it seems an regression in design and some bugs make multi gpu setups very troublesome. I have posted logs and configurations on the radeonhd mailing list with my issues. But some developers have stated multi gpu is not an priority... >> btw.
