I have three or four displays attached to two different nvidia GPUs.  I
have noticed that a nouveau driven setup handles window management much
more sanely, and provides adequate 3D support for my purposes. The easiest
way I've found to configure is by creating an xorg.conf with
nvidia-settings, then adjusting manually or replacing with open drivers as
desired.

However, if you're looking at gnome for this setup, you'll want one of the
cards that support more than two displays, like the matrox or ati ones
mentioned above, because mutter, gnome's new window manager/compositor,
doesn't play nice with multiple X screens.
