Xorg with multiple cards

[Mike Ginsburg]

Thank you for the response Baptiste.  I was under the impression that 
Xinerama no longer worked with xorg 7.3.  I tried setting up my 
xorg.conf both with and without it, and it seems to be having problems 
re-defining a device on the same PCI bus (1:0:0).

I have it so that X will start up, and the dual-head card loads and 2 of 
my screens show, but the 3rd screen is still being difficult. Any other 
input is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
