i have an older (april 2001) review here of a matrox g200-mms vga card, which allows 4 video heads on a single card and up to 4 cards. a little math says 16 monitors.
the review says they ran 4 screens first as a single giant desktop, 2048x1536, then as 4 different desktops, 1-4, each at a different resolution. they did not mention running multiple xwindows, but it seems that would be no big deal. perhaps i am wrong and actually displaying one kde and one gnome at the same time is not possible, but it seems it should be. the bad news? 699.95 us for a single card with 4 video out, and closed source code for the 'driver'.
