[ale] XFree86 Dual Head

[Christopher R. Curzio]

Strangely enough, starting X with +xinerama causes the patterned X startup
screen to display for a few seconds, then it drops out of X and totally
scrambles the display on Screen0, forcing me to reboot. 

It works as previously described without the +xinerama flag, and exits X
okay. Problem is, I don't have xinerama capability.
