So far, I've tested install with two monitors.  Same result.  I logged 
in as root and ran:
 ># startx
with version info and legend coming up, followed by:
(EE) i810(0): No Video BIOS modes for chosen depth
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration

The legend says, the (EE) means error.  I'm not sure where the computer 
is looking for Video BIOS modes for chosen depth.  Is there a universal 
Video BIOS modes command I can enter at boot to get computer to boot 
into runlevel 5?
