I tried pulling out the nvidia card and Beos was able to use the ati card, so 
I guess nothing is wrong with the driver.  I ran my display driver and it was 
able to open the device (unlike when I was using 2 cards).  So I guess I'll 
have to muddle through using only one card.
I figured out my problem with the accelerant entry point.  It turns out that I 
was just being an idiot ;) (stupid mistake with one of my parameters).
