All it took were two NVIDIA GT8600 and Xinerama. The reason I'm not running this setup anymore has nothing to do with the setup itself rather than my preferences.
I have a GTX 480 & a GS 4800 and I can make local X11 servers run on both of them. Is it possible to have Xdmx connect to two or 3 local instances ofX11? If so, then, I can have a triple display! There is also a "Mosaic" mode which is supported by even the cheapest Quadro cards (around 100Euros each). You could take a look at the NVIDIA driver documentation to see if it fits your needs.
When I last tried Xdmx it worked quite well like advised in the manpage. It didn't support rotated monitors, though.
I ask this here Xdmx lacks a mailing list. The reason that Xdmx lacks a mailing list is that Xdmx went into Xserver. So you might want to ask your questions on the Xserver ml. However, from what I saw, there is not much active development around Xdmx.
