Spice currently support only 4 monitors,
however it is just a matter of changing a #define to make it run with more 
monitors.

What worry me with 8 monitors is the amount of pci memory that we will have to 
allocate
I am not sure if there will be enougth memory below the 4giga address
(We can check this, and maybe start the pci hole at lower address)

So just tell me all this issues, what window manger do you use?
from what distro and what version?

Thanks.
