I tried to give away a basiclinux computer (200MHz) to the local Freecycle 
group but the only person interested in it (who understood it was not 
suitable for their kids to do homework on) wants to use linux on a desktop 
computer to distribute video signals to four 19" monitors to make a 'large 
screen TV'.  He has a 2GHz laptop and wants to send the signal from it to 
a linux desktop, which I think would need a Matrox quad G200 PCI card, 
which puts out signals to four monitors.  It is available with TV tuner 
and 64MB RAM for $250, so I suggested he invest $50 in a 2.4MHz 
motherboard with cpu from ebay and skip the laptop.  My neighbor says he 
needs at least 1GHz for TV.  (I am playing DVDs on 600MHz though).

Only $60 for a dual-monitor Matrox without the tuner.  And I have a 
Millenium that can be used with another VGA card for dual-monitor.

Would basiclinux (on his 100GB drive) handle X with four Screen devices? 
I found a sample of how to do this with Redhat but it might not be using
XF86Config.  Screen0 Screen1 etc.
