Thank you for the response Baptiste. I was under the impression that Xinerama no longer worked with xorg 7.3. I tried setting up my xorg.conf both with and without it, and it seems to be having problems re-defining a device on the same PCI bus (1:0:0). I have it so that X will start up, and the dual-head card loads and 2 of my screens show, but the 3rd screen is still being difficult. Any other input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
