You shouldn't need to compile a new kernel.

It sounds like you want a separate X screen on each display device. You can configure that with "sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --separate-x-screens" though IIRC that only creates two X screens per GPU. For the GeForce 670, you can manually configure four separate X screens on the one GPU. See the README for details on how to set that up.
