As suggested by at least one poster, the problem lay with the
inability of currently available drivers to correctly handle the new
Intel video card/s I was using.

After a pause for hardware acquisition I now have an nVidia GeForce
7300 GT. Hardware acceleration is excellent, and with the addition of
a few lines to xorg.conf I now have a 2800x1050 screen over two
monitors.

In summary: nVidia works better (for me) than Intel graphics cards.

Changes to xorg.conf:

* in Section "Screen" add
  Option "RenderAccel" "true"
* in Section "Device" add
  Option "TwinView" "on"
  Option "MetaModes" "1400x1050 1400x1050"
  Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
