Your Xorg.0.log indicates that your video card (Intel Corporation
unknown chipset 0x2e12 / Intel(r)Eaglelake Graphics Controller) was not
recognized, so it fell back to the generic VESA driver.  The VESA driver
does not support dual-head modes.

Upgrading to a newer Ubuntu version could help.  The Intel driver in
Intrepid claims to support G45/G43, Q45/Q43, which are all Eglelake
chipsets.
