This is what you need to do: 1) Open a terminal 2) Type su - 3) The su will ask for the root password. Type it in. 4) Type gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf 5) A text editor should open for you and have the contents of xorg.conf displayed. 6) Delete the word "vesa" and put "radeon" in its place. 7) Save the file and close the editor. 8) Make sure your both monitors are plugged in. 9) Reboot the computer. 10) After you log in again, send me again the /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of xrandr. If all goes well, X will use the radeon driver, xrandr will become smarter and it will be a matter of using a single xrandr command to turn on the other monitor.
