Hello Alex,
I reconfigured my setup for the xorg.conf file using MergedFB. It now looks like this:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Multihead layout"
Screen 0 "mergedscreen" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "Clone" "off"
EndSection
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
Load "dri"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "LCD Panel 1280x1024"
HorizSync 31.5 - 67.0

EndSection
Section "Screen"

The Xorg.0.log file is an attachment.
After looking at the log closely, I realized that the radeon driver is switching around
what is the primary vs secondary "port". The Sceptre monitor is really the primary
display that the BIOS initializes and the Linux console runs on. The EN7100e is on the
DVI->VGA adapter and is not initialized at boot. So, this appears to be the problem.
How to tell the driver to swap them around?
Any help appreciated.
