Public bug reported: Today after installing the fglrx drivers on my Radeon 6950 cayman card, in the "Displays" options, in order to get dual monitors to work I had to first go into amdcccle and enable it there, restart the computer, and THEN enable it in the displays setting. Also, both monitors are showing up as "laptop". When using the radeon drivers each monitor is picked up as "Acer blah blah", but with the propriatary drivers they both say "laptop" and there is no visual color difference to indicate differences between the two.
It would be nice if we could Unify the "displays" menu to where it will enable dual monitors in amdccle when that option is selected or visa versa. It would also be nice to see the two monitors registering as their proper names and differentiation.
