[Bug 858025] Re: amdcccle crashes in 11.10 beta when trying to enable dual monitors
@Britt Yazel ...thanks very much for posting your xorg.conf file rewrite. I have been searching for a solution for two days, I have the same ati radeon sapphire graphics card as you, all I had to do was CP your work into my own xorg.conf file. It works ! good job mate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/858025 Title: amdcccle crashes in 11.10 beta when trying to enable dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/858025/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 858025] Re: amdcccle crashes in 11.10 beta when trying to enable dual monitors
I hadn't run the updates until this morning, and it was working fine until then. Unfortunately I ran both general updates (which included an update to xorg) and the fglrx drivers) at the same time. Well, more precisely, I tried to install the fglrx drivers (the post-release version) and that failed. So, I just rebooted. I had the problem then already. Then I installed (successfully) the older fglrx on offer, that worked, but didn't fix my problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/858025 Title: amdcccle crashes in 11.10 beta when trying to enable dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/858025/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ok, it does kinda seem like it was the amd graphics driver that did it, even though ubuntu said it wasn't activated. It must have messed with the configurations, which was enough to cause the problem. And then installing it successfully didn't fix things, as it was the configurations which are the problem maybe? In any case, having successfully installed the proprietary driver, I was then able to successfully uninstall it (one can't uninstall what isn't installed right?) That fixed my dual screen problem. However, in uninstalling that, it seems to have turned off compiz, which I assume is the cause of my fancy new panel not appearing. I had to create a shell file just to open bash, so that I could open a browser, so I could make this complaint! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/858025 Title: amdcccle crashes in 11.10 beta when trying to enable dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/858025/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

turns out, installing (or more likely un-installing) fglrx caused further problems, by breaking dependencies and removing libgl. I ended up in fixing it (reverting to normal state) by following the instructions posted here: http://onubuntu.blogspot.com/2011/10/manually-removing-fglrx-from- ubuntu.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/858025 Title: amdcccle crashes in 11.10 beta when trying to enable dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/858025/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 858025] Re: amdcccle crashes in 11.10 beta when trying to enable dual monitors
was able to solve the issue by adding a subsection to my xorg.conf file. In the screen section I added Virtual 3840 1080 , which is the combined total of both of my desktops. This is my xorg.conf file: Section ServerLayout Identifier aticonfig Layout Screen 0 aticonfig-Screen[0]-0 0 0 EndSection Section Module Load glx EndSection Section Monitor Identifier aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0 Option VendorName ATI Proprietary Driver Option ModelName Generic Autodetecting Monitor Option DPMS true EndSection Section Device Identifier aticonfig-Device[0]-0 Driver fglrx Option UseFastTLS 1 BusID PCI:1:0:0 EndSection Section Screen Identifier aticonfig-Screen[0]-0 Device aticonfig-Device[0]-0 Monitoraticonfig-Monitor[0]-0 DefaultDepth 24 SubSection Display Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Virtual 3840 1080 EndSubSection EndSection I hope this helps, and there should definitely be a way for ubuntu to either figure out the virtual size for itself, rather than me having to add it in, when it is such a simple calculation -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/858025 Title: amdcccle crashes in 11.10 beta when trying to enable dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/858025/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
