It's no different from doing the same with a workstation. Write a XF86Config-4
for dual (or however many) monitors and put it where the default XF86Config
for the terminals is located (/opt/ltsp/i386/etc for me), and edit lts.conf so
that the terminal of interest uses the new XF file. For example,
# XF86C for the multi-head terminal
[ws001]
XSERVER = auto
LOCAL_APPS = N
USE_NFS_SWAP = N
# SWAPFILE_SIZE = 48m
RUNLEVEL = 5
XF86CONFIG_FILE = XF86Config.ws001.multihead
X_MOUSE_EMULATE3BTN = Y
I have 2 terminals running 3 monitors each, I'm out of slots so I can't do more.

I have a similar problem, which I always put down to the ATI X drivers.. they
always leave border lines around from minimized windows, etc. Anyway, once my
screen blanks, and comes on again, I see a checker pattern on any space where
there isn't any content. I use a black background, so this corresponds to
areas where the pixels are off. Seems to be some problem syncing the monitors
back up? Anyhow, it is all OK if I go to the console (Left-ALT + F1) and then
back (Left-ALT+F2). You may have to do F3 instead of F2, depends on how many
virtual consoles you have. Sometimes however when my screen blanks, it won't
come back and I just have to reset the terminal; ususally happens overnight.
Since I use screen, I don't lose any work however.
