Ok, something has gone horribly wrong in the probe phase.  Get rid of
all of the Screen lines from ServerLayout except for the entry for
Screen 0.  Get rid of all of the Monitor sections except for Monitor 0.
Get rid of all of the Device sections except for the one that has Card0.
And finally, get rid of all of the Screen sections except for Screen0.
See what that does...
