I did find the switch on the 2064W.  It was set to "VGA Enable".  I 
changed it over to "VGA Disable".  When I did that, the machine booted 
up with the onboard card flawlessly -- the first time it's done it with 
the Millenium in a PCI slot :)  However . . .

I changed back over to my Xinerama-enabled config file and tried to 
start it up -- the machine then hard-locked (ssh died, no ping, etc.).  
So I rebooted the machine and tried to start XF86 with just the 
Millenium (specifying it via BusID) -- it hard-locked the machine again.

I currently have the onboard 1064SG (btw, the chip itself on the MoBo 
reads it as a 1164SG) set in the BIOS to NOT auto-disable.  Should the 
Millenium be set to disable or enable?

Thanks again for the help :)
Josh
