Hello,

interesting question. I hope I understand it correctly. I think you want
to build a virtual desktop using two or more physical devices (graphic
cards, displays/monitors).


Have a look at these links:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Using_multiple_monitors_with_XFree86


The idea is to use two or more graphics adapters (using a notebook one
graphics card is enough)  and displays/monitors to build one large
virtual desktop spread over a range of physical displays/monitors.

I've already seen such virtual desktops with eight physical
displays/monitors. 



kind regards

Gerald Roehrbein
