Okay --
So, tonight we used the xorg.conf we built with the nVidea card that works, and replaced the nVidea card/driver names with the Intel/Vesa card/driver names and booted.
The good news is that unlike before, X did not crash and the servers woule boot into X11. However, the spanning failed and we still had cloned desktops.
So... the moral of the story is that the Intel chipset and drivers clearly just won't support spanning in X11. The nVidea solves it and we were able to do it with $44 cards, which is far less than the time it would take the engineers to resolve it any other way.
