(sorry Keith for not responding to the ml, hit the wrong button... ;( )

Not using any  xorg.conf I get the "Can't go bigger than 1920 error".
I'm assumming now that my problem is my virual size setting.  I guess
I need to figure out how to set sizes per monitor....

Here's my xorg.conf::

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Intel"
	Driver	"i810"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Generic Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
       Identifier      "Default Screen"
       Device          "Intel"
       Monitor         "Generic Monitor"
       SubSection "Display"
               Depth           24
               Virtual         3320 1200
       EndSubSection
EndSection
