Four SiliconMotion cards in one system

Hello, I'm trying to get a system working with 4 SiliconMotion SMI721 based graphics cards in, for a quad head display.
I'm now using Absolute Linux 13.0.8 for the latest Kernel, 2.6.32.7, and the 1.7.2 xfree-video-siliconmotion driver.
I can't get more than one card working together, I just get a black screen with a frozen white cursor in when I start X with more than one card defined in xorg.conf, but with just one card all works well.
Has the driver been used/tested in a multiple card setup, and do I stand any chance of getting it working?
I've included the log file below, foolishly I haven't got the xorg.conf file off the machine, but if it would really help I can get it.
Many thanks for any help you can offer, or at least reassurance that the driver will work, it's my setup and xorg.conf files that need to be worked on.
