Hello All,
	I find my self struggling with my Linux box.  I want to get X
powering two monitors as it looks significantly cooler.  I have an extra
single sync monitor, although I'm starting off with a 17" sony that is
multisync.  I have been through the howto and I have attached my
XF86config file.  I have almost gone word for word by the howto, but I
must have missed something.  Supposedly when I type startx -- +xinerama,
it should come in dual head mode.  I also have attached the output from
the above command.  Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Anthony
