New question #79048 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79048

So, I have been following a couple of different posted set of instructions for a Xserver configuration on my Ubuntu 8.04 desktop configuration as I would like to enable the Xinerama feature across three screens in total.  I know that two can be done, but I have not been able to get that to work.  I am thinking that I have just a simple driver issue, but would like some of you to take a look at what I have already and tell me where to go from here.  Thanks.

Here is the current xorg.conf file that is not working and the lspci output:  I just keep going back to a Screen0 display of 800x600 (running in low res mode) using a xorg.conf.failsafe config file.  Thanks again.
