[PLUG] Tri-head troubles

I'm trying to get three LCD monitors working together.

The computer is a Compaq Evo somethingorother with a built in Intel 845g
graphics card and a Matrox Millennium G450 DualHead card.

When the system boots up everything goes to the monitor connected to the
845g card.  When X starts then I get dual-head working on the two monitors
connected to the G450, but the monitor on the 845g goes black.  I'm running
xorg 6.8.2 on Fedora Core 4.

lspci shows my graphics cards at:
     00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation
82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
     06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. G400/G450 (rev
85)

In /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I get:

     (WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:0)
found

Here's my xorg.conf:
