Thanks Carsten and Christopher! It looks like what is tripping me up is the virtual screen size that the Intel drive is telling randr that it can create (8192 x 8192) which isn't enough to have two 4k monitors and a 1080 one all in landscape. Hopefully that is something that they'll be able to

Woohoo! Managed to get two differently configured desktops running (with the same user) using multihead in XF86Config without xinerama (the configuration Peter had posted). The nice thing about this is that it lets you configure two differently sized monitors. I've got one 19" CRT with 1600x1200

I do this, and it's terrific. Why drag things across monitors when they are different resolutions and quality (as in my case). I use monitor 0 for panel (kicker), email, and newsgroups, and compiling (1024x768) and monitor 1 for browsing, graphics, program testing, windows (boo hiss) at 12
