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.
