I am doing this with AccleX from Xi Graphics (I think this is their name
today, www.xinside.com) They have a $300 server that supports upto 3 cards I
belive.  It works nice, has support, I am using it with a few Matrox 4mb
cards on fixed freq. monitors just fine.  Not quite as free as XFree86, but
if you ever give up on that, this works rather nicely :)
