Ok. I think I have a solution. First of all, the radon driver would not
load because the radeon module was not loaded. So running modprobe
radeon and echo radeon >> /etc/modules fixed that.

Secondly it looks like the ouput of lspci changed in intrepid. I used to
see each output as a seperate video device. -1:00.0 and 01:00.1. So my
xorg.conf used to have two different devices. Now I only see one device
in lspci, so my new xorg.conf has one device but two monitors. This
setup appears to be working. However, if I ever run a graphical display
manager (such as the one in kubuntu) it immediately screws up the
displays by putting them into clone mode, and requires a reset to fix
it. See the screenshot of display properties.
