On the subject, have you seen anyone using 4 monitors? I think it is not practical, you have to have a central monitor while the rest to be auxiliary.
3x1landscape and 5x1 portrait are the best multi monitor scenarios. 5x1portrait with 24-30" screens in a wraparound config uses almost all of your field of vision, makes many games much easier since it becomes much harder to sneak up on your char.

Mind you, any gaming I do is on Windows, so not had any issues with Eyefinity and games there.

Surprised NVIDIA can run 4 screens
I was surprised to learn that NVIDIA can now run more that 2 displays on the same X server.
In the past it required using more than one X server and Xinerama but the desktop performance was terrible.
This is why I've been using Radeon HD 5670 for the last 3 years at work to run 3 identical displays, and it works well with both open-source and Catalyst drivers.

Can someone explain how to get the Nvidia proprietary setup running fullscreen games as shown, without having to go in and enable Xinerama, and then destroy the desktop experience??
Did you have to go in and enable Xinerama in the config for this result? TwinView options that are still in documentation dont seem to exist anymore, Mosaic option in nvidia-settings is only for multiple gpu, I cant seem to find anything to do with the xrandr command line utility to get where I'm trying to go (5760x1080 fullscreen).. and I can't find a single program/game that can be made aware of the situation..
How was this done without editing xorg.conf?? Please someone out there enlighten me lol
