Hi Derek,

Have you tried Xdmx?

  http://dmx.sourceforge.net/

It can supposedly turn your 4 LCDs into a single, unified ("wall of
monitors") X display system.

And, Xdmx is included in the latest Xorg RPMs for Fedora Core 3.  So it
might be available in a convenient pre-built binary package for other
distros, too.
