x2x is available as a Debian package, I've also made a RPM package,
you can get it from:

  http://www.cps.msu.edu/~dunham/redhat/

There is a shot of my office in:

  http://www.cps.msu.edu/~dunham/office/office1.jpg

which includes my 3 monitor setup.

The home for x2x is:
  ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/DEC/SRC/x2x/x2x-1.27.tar.gz


The home for xmove is:
  ftp://ftp.cs.columbia.edu/pub/xmove/

Last I checked (at least a year ago) there were a few bugs, and some
problems with 16 and 24 bit support, but there appears to be a new
beta version out.
