My original question was this:
I have a user with a couple of Aplha 400s that each have 3 video
cards. They are running DU 3.2c. Each screen can be addressed via the
normal convention of hostname:0 hostname:1 hostname:2. What we would like
to do is be able to have a giant vitual screen that will span all three
monitors. Digital tells us that this capability was left out of thier X
server. Does anybody have any ideas about how we can accomplish our goals?
I got answeres from the following:
From: "Anthony D'Atri" <aad_at_nwnet.net>
From: Dave Cherkus <cherkus_at_UniMaster.COM>
From: bremner_at_cs.mcgill.ca
From: "Menelaos N. Karamichalis" <mnk_at_wuerl.wustl.edu>
From: Michael Gehret <Michael.Gehret_at_x-software.com>
The answeres were basicly in three catagories:
1)
There's something called Xvan or xvan out there that I believe does it.
2)
Part of the unsupported software for DU 4.0 is
PRXADK100, PanoramiX Extension ADK. This is supposed to make one workspace
out of multiple monitors. I am not sure if it works on 3.2C. I have not
tried it yet on my 4.0 system so I cannot comment on it.
3)
You might have a look at our X/bigX software:

#1 has not been ported to DU as best as I can tell.
#2 seems like the ultimate solution in the long run, but is not
practical now, in this case.
#3 Is looking like a good choice for my particular set of
circumstances.
Thanks to all that replied.
