Xorg.conf for three screen setup

After some extended reseach I finally succeeded in getting my server setup with three screens running. My system currently consists of a radeon HD6570 with two Lenovo L171 and a Geforce 6200 with a Lenovo L171p. The monitors are capable of showing a resolution of 1280×1024 on a 17″ screen and the complete setup is using Xinerama.

HDMA Desktop

Because of some double boughts from ebay I owned a server board and some peripherials and decided to build a new desktop computer with minimum noise and highest performance I can get at no costs. So I build an open housing for the computer and used passive coolers with only one active fan. The complete system is restrained between two wooden bars and two 17″ LCD monitors on top.

As one of my previous LCDs just stopped working I spent some money on a used replacement and found two Lenovo Flatpanels which are now included in my setup. With the replacement I also introduced a rotating screen carrier. Now the computer is located beside and at the edge of my desktop and the screens may be rotated into sight.
