Linux quad monitors

So I have 4 monitors which are 3 Dell 2209wa's and 1 hannsg HG281D. I can run this all as one big desktop under windows 7 fine using a radeon 5870 for the 3 and a geforce 9600GT. My question is would this same setup be possible under linux as I have never done multimonitor setups for it? The big flag to me is the mixed video cards but hopefully someone has more experience.
 
It can, but you may have to deviate from the gui tools, due to the two different cards.
 
No. You can't mix drivers in linux. Supposedly you can do it using the opensource drivers, but I never got any luck getting it to work (might of been because I was trying integrated ati + ext nvidia)

Click to expand...

So if I got a cheap card like a radeon 5450 that would work since the drivers would match the 5870?
 
Everything should be okay. I have a friend who runs the following setup, under Gentoo, using 3 different cards:
