[Bug 914713] Re: virtual display memory too small, primary display resolution incorrect
resolved by performing these steps: Re: remove xrandr 1.2 and let ati setup my screens I ran into the same problem last week and was just trying to remember how I did it because a coworker wanted to know. So for your and his benefit... Edit /etc/ati/amdpcsdb In the section labeled [AMDPCSROOT/SYSTEM/DDX] add this: Code: EnableRandR12=Sfalse Also, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the Device section add: Code: Option EnableRandR12 false Hope that helps. thanks to ToeBee at the Ubuntu forums. then. run catalyst control manager in administration mode and set desktops to single desktop (multiple display(s)) - should be the bottom option. You then need to reboot to save changes. At the terminal type: sudo aticonfig --dtop=horizontal and follow the prompts. You should get an error message. After this you can then change to a multi display desktop by rebooting and changing settings through the catalyst control center. Not sure all the above is needed, but they are what i did to resolve the issue. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New = Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/914713 Title: virtual display memory too small, primary display resolution incorrect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/914713/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 914713] Re: virtual display memory too small, primary display resolution incorrect
Hi Alex, You will need to use AMD's configuration tool for setting up the config you want, because it will require using Xinerama. The GNOME display properties tool only works for displays connected to a single video card; it can't do multi-card spanning. If you need technical support for setting this up, the kind folks at askubuntu.com should be able to help guide you through using amdcccle to create your configuration. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/914713 Title: virtual display memory too small, primary display resolution incorrect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/914713/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 914713] Re: virtual display memory too small, primary display resolution incorrect
The displays are both connected to the same graphics card. The information about multiple cards was included in case of a conflict issue. Is this still an invalid bug ? will try to use AMD's configuration tool like you suggested to see if it provides a workaround. Thanks for the quick reply! ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Incomplete ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/914713 Title: virtual display memory too small, primary display resolution incorrect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/914713/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
