Hey,
today I tried a few things. For one, you can run 4 Displays with your M14x. I had the Notebooks Display on 1600x900, a TFT connected with HDMI on 1920x1080, a TFT connected with Mini-DisplayPort on 1920x1080 and a TFT with VGA on 1280x1024. So enough space to work. ( Screenshot)
I also tried to run CSS on a 3x1600x900 configuration. So Notebook Display, HDMI TFT and MDP TFT.
Start parameters: -windowed -console -w 4800 -h 900
But the game always starts in 1600x900.
On my desktop PC with ATI Eyefinity I had to connect the 3 displays to "one big TFT" in the GPU-settings-menu. In the NVIDIA-settings-menu I didn't found any similiar option.
Any suggestions?

i'd like to know how to do this as well, so basically get 4 monitors to act as 1 big monitor.

I dont think this would be possible. The reason it works in eyefinity is that its using the single graphics card to do all the processing. The layout of the m14x (the R1 at least R2 might be different) means that the HDMI and MDP use the nvidia card, where the vga and possibly the laptop screen will use the Intel graphics chip to allow the 4 monitors
each of the 2 graphics chips actually only support 2 monitors, and as such you wouldnt be able to span 3 monitors into a single desktop.
Hope that helps. -

JUSt FYI I could not get the r2 to use VGA, HDMI, and MDP. i can only get it to use the purely digital connections at the same time. i bought this MDP-->HDMI adapter and tested OK: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HWWDAY/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
