I would imagine that you could get similar (if somewhat more resource heavy) results with some creative use of the Xnest server... launch your real Xserver sans windowmanager with Xinerama on, then run your copies of Xnest like this (assuming, for arguments sake a screen-size of 1024x768 and your first two heads setup as the left-most two screens): Xnest :1 -display :0 -bw 0 -geometry 2048x768+0+0 & Xnest :2 -display :0 -bw 0 -geometry 1024x768+2048+0 & You now have (nearly) the setup you want, first two displays accessible in a xinerama style via :1 and the third is at :2 Differences in this is that you MUST run two copies of your windowmanager for these two servers (unlike a non-xinerama'd multi-head Xserver.. a plus in my book..) or two completely different windowmanagers if you want... also, remember not to run anything on :0 or you'll really have a mess *grins* Ugly? yes, but it should work..
