I'm trying to run OBS for the first time. I've installed it according to the instructions. It's worth pointing out:
  • I have two video cheap Radeon cards installed and four screens.
  • My audio out is via the video card HDMI audio
When I start it, it says the following:

Any idea what's wrong?

Check to see if your X server is on a display other than :0

The 'FROM' column shows where the display is setup. From my system:
Bash:
[adam@tardis:/home/adam] w
16:48:41 up  4:36,  1 user,  load average: 2.00, 2.03, 2.01
USER     TTY      FROM             LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
adam     tty7     :0               12:13    4:35m  1:05m  8.35s i3

If yours isn't :0, then it's most likely :1, which you can force obs to use by running this command:

Bash:
DISPLAY=:1 obs
