After a lot of screwing around and digging through my old hard drive for the 
old Xorg.0.log, I finally may have found what my work around is....

I disabled (commented out) the loading of the dri extension. It would
seem that my previous dual headed configuration disabled that extension
from comments I found in the old log file. I had not gotten to trying
that configuration on the new install. So I have tried it and I have not
seen the error in a small amount of testing. I did incorporate some
other settings I found in various locations on the net, but none of them
by themselves seemed to make a difference.

I am currently running with:

Section "Module"
        Load    "dbe"
        Load    "i2c"
        Load    "bitmap"
        Load    "ddc"
#       Load    "dri"
        Load    "extmod"
        Load    "freetype"
        Load    "glx"
        Load    "int10"
        Load    "vbe"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 [Mobility FireGL 
9000]"
        Driver          "radeon"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option          "AccelMethod" "XAA"
#        Option         "AccelMethod" "EXA"
        Option          "AGPMode" "4"
        Option          "AGPSize" "32"
        #Option         "backingstore" "true"
        Option          "ColorTiling" "on"
        Option          "DynamicClocks" "on"
        Option          "EnablePageFlip" "true"
        Option          "mtrr" "on"
        Option          "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
        Option          "RenderAccel" "true"
        Option          "SubPixelOrder" "none"
        Option          "VideoOverlay" "on"
        #Option         "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
EndSection

don't know if it makes any difference but my old driver was:
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so
(II) Module radeon: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 4.0.3
        Module class: X.Org Video Driver
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8
The new one is:
(II) LoadModule: "radeon"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so
(II) Module radeon: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 7.2.0, module version = 4.2.0
        Module class: X.Org Video Driver
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.1
