Fedora three monitor xorg.conf configuration
I found my old xorg.conf configuration file to have three monitors in Fedora Linux. I found if I used Nvidia's extra monitor configuration options, it would turn two monitors into one screen, instead of one screen for one monitor. The difference is when you maximize a window. Using Nvidia's, maximizing Firefox would spread the window over two monitors, which isn't what I wanted.
I discovered with my quad-head Quadro 400NVS I could use each chip on the card for a separate screen in Xinerama and put in a third card (in this case a GeForce 2 GTS) to make three screens for three monitors.

# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
