Yep.  No go.  I also figured that since the documentation on
XFree86.org's website said "Xinerama is not enabled by default, and
can be enabled with the +xinerama command line option for the X
server." I thought that was how it had to be called...however, when I
try to start X either way, there is no Xinerama calls in the 
XFree86.0.log log file.  I wonder if I need to start up my X server a
differrent way...

Thanks,

Bryan
