Better 3+ monitor support

[John Fano]

Hi Everyone,

First let me say that you've done fantastic work to get Ubuntu to
where it is.  Lucid is just awesome, and I'm really looking forward to
Unity.

So I've been trying for a while to get 3 monitors going in Lucid and
keep Compiz-Fusion.  After many Google and Ubuntu forum searches I
found this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=884161

The poster has been helping people since 8.04 setup 3+ monitors while
still running Compiz.  Unfortunately if you keep reading to the end
you see that it's no longer possible without some hacking from 8.10 to
9.10 and the very last post shows that it's just broken with 10.04
(there is a bug report).   So I am curious if there is anything in the
works to address easy setup with 3+ monitors while keeping Compiz so
we don't lose the docks and other things that depend on an accelerated
desktop?  The Monitors app does a great job with 2 monitors, so it
would be great to have that work with more than 2.

Thanks!

John :-)
