    I haven't had time to test this in a vm, but dual screens work on bare metal with Xubuntu and the ATI driver.

    Again, since Eyefinity supports Linux, I'm sure that if I hooked up three monitors this would be about the same.

    Ok, but how did you do this? How did you tell Xubuntu to span multiple monitors?

    Try using arandr - set them up, save the script, add the script to startup.

    OK been looking at that quite extensively, however have yet to find out how to do it successfully.

    Basically it needs to run for all users, after X has loaded but before they login, and ideally only run if all three monitors are present.

    No idea hwo you would get it to run if there were all 3 monitors present.

    Maybe look at adding the script to /etc/rc.local

    That would run "at the end of each multiuser runlevel"
