Okay, I have taken it out.

I adapted one (don't recall if it was one of those, or one that 
someone else had suggested) and tested it. As reported in a 
previous note (in response to someone else), the changes caused 
no problems but did not result in a spanning desktop. At that 
time I posted to the list the xorg.conf file I used, but I think 
I still need to post the log.

Then aqua suggested another change, which I tried; X failed to 
start with that change in the file. I will post the xorg.conf I 
used, and the log of that attempt, in response to that note. 
However, none of this will happen today, or possibly even 
tomorrow. I am grateful for all the help everyone has given me, 
but right now I have to get some other higher-priority things 
done before I can come back to trying to solve this problem.

Thanks again.
