I was trying to run dual monitors on Ubuntu, but only got a duplicate display on the second monitor. Look here for more information on multiple monitors and Linux. Hope it helps!

I think the general principle would hold for three monitors, I would imagine so anyway. The third monitor would just need another entry in the config files for X.

Good luck.
