Triple Head Setup with 2 ati cards

Hey guys I previously posted in the Slackware section about this. Since then I've gotten a little bit further however I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I've been following the threads on this forum, but everytime I do what they tell me to do I get an error. For some reason it keeps telling me Screen 1 and Screen 2 don't exist. Here let me post my xorg.conf and my xorg.0.log. Also I get "Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting" that error. Anyways thanks to anyone that can help.

Code:

Thanks again to anyone you can help!

EDIT: I realized it may be useful for you to know the hardware I'm dealing with. I'm using an X1900xt and a radeon 9250. I have two monitors plugged into the X1900xt a 22" and a 17 " and one plugged into the 9250 a 17".
