Thanks for the suggestion Scott.

Per my xorg.conf file I'm using ati driver.  I tossed that line, 
guessing "boolean" meaning on or off, in my config.  No change with it 
on or off.  I tried using the radeon driver, X won't start that way.

Still looking for suggestions and scowering the internet for a fix.  Thanks!
