I hashed-out the "Screen 2" line in the ServerLayout section then ran 
startx - that appeared to work as expected. Then I changed "Screen 1" to 
"Screen 2" and ran startx - that resulted in the RIVA TNT boot message 
being displayed on the "Other" monitor (the one attached to the intel 
video out) for a moment then the system froze with 2 blank, black screens.

I have attached the xorg.0.log file for the failed Screen 2 attempt and 
the xorg.0.log.old file for the successful Screen 1 test.
