That helps a ton.  Thank you *very* much.

I'm still curious about my last question though.  I suddenly realized I'm
not being entirely clear where there's room for misinterpretation.

I'm wondering at this point if I should go buy a second physical video
card to install into my tower.  Not whether I should configure in a
second card section in the X config.

I'm starting to think I won't, otherwise you'd probably have mentioned a
card section for each card, right?  So the physical hookup will have one
monitor plugged into the standard video port, and the second plugged
into the DVI port via an adaptor.  What adaptor would I be using?

Thanks again Peter.  Your config will probably save me a good bit of
frustration.

There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking
about.
