I have a lot of monitors and various old video cards. Recently I've needed more and more real estate to configure an ever growing vpn configuration. 40+ terminal windows Open. I needed to be able to view these all on one desktop. So I pulled out some of that old hardware and grabbed some spare monitors and Here's what I came up with. A 5 panel Multiheaded X.org config file. I thought I;d share with everyone.
