While the DMX project  ( http://dmx.sourceforge.net/dmx-start.html ), is 
intended to be used across multiple computers, it seems possible from a 
quick reading of the getting started page, to get it to use 2 X servers 
on the same machine (in other words the two twinview servers on your 4 
output system).  This is complete speculation, though, I haven't even 
tried getting dual twinview working yet myself.

I'm interested in doing much the same thing as you with 4 monitors on 
one machine, so I'd be glad to hear of any progress you make.
