I have the same problem. Attached is my xorg.conf. When I use as is it
works: I get 3 monitors each running a separate X sessions (I can move
the mouse across them but I cannot move windows across screens, as, I
think, is expected).

But, if I change the xorg.conf to have

Option "Xinerama" "on"

instead of "off" then I get the same "Gdk-ERROR: unable to find a usable depth
aborting..." when I try to "startx". I also noticed that if I just run "X" that it runs fine with no crash.

Does anyone have a work around?
