It's not that simple.  The client has to be specially written to
accommodate this.  (There is a program which does what you want but
only in the client->server direction; this is not quite what you're
after because it doesn't handle exposures properly and it doesn't cause
the pointers on one display to control the pointers on the rest.

It would probably be easier to find some video co-ax and hook many
monitors up to a single system.

We are planning a demonstration of a package which runs under X11.4.

Rather than have 10 people all crowded around a single screen we 
would like to say something like:-

	demo -display screen1:0 -display screen2:0

and have the demo appera on multiple screens with a single invocation of
the client.

Can someone suggest the appropriate command line syntax to achieve this.

Please mail suggestions to paul@xwdev.pandc.rta.oz.au and I will provide
a summary to the conference.
