I have installed Trusty Tahr and switched from using displayPort only to
using displayPort and DVI.  That seems to have resolved the issue.

Title:
  Dual Monitor Setup is Mirroring Instead of Spanning

Status in xserver-xorg-video-ati package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was running Utopic and when I came in this morning my monitors
  wouldn't come out of power-save mode.  I logged in remotely and
  rebooted the system.  The monitors now work but they are both
  displaying the same content (mirroring) while they were spanning
  before.  I have now upgraded to vivid but it hasn't resolved the
  issue.
