I have a similar question I was about to post.  I want to drive 5 monitors
with touchscreens from the same AT-bus 386 system, VGA resolution.  No 
keyboards.  Processing load is pretty light - only one human is sitting in
the middle of all these screens.  Simple graphics.  

Do I want to do this with X-Windows?  What kind of hardware setup should I
figure on?  X-Windows terminals?  Multiple video cards?

I've used some dBus Orchid cards under DOS, but they are only EGA, and seem
to have a dwindling future.
