[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 619663] Re: [maverick] Non-mirrored dual-screen gives narrow display on secondary monitor
Mystery deepens. i had a spare partition so I tried a clean install. It worked! So I turned on the proprietary FGLRX driver. It (setting monitors to be non-mirror) stopped working. So I removed the driver in Administration-Additional Drivers. It worked again. Thinking I was onto something I booted back to the upgraded partition. I tried to remove the driver. I could not do so. It through some bogus error. When I hit remove again it reinstalled it! Another bug. How do I remove this obviously troubled proprietary driver cleanly by hand? -- [maverick] Non-mirrored dual-screen gives narrow display on secondary monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/619663 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is a direct subscriber. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Problem resolved once I found instructions for manually removing and cleaning up after the proprietary FGLRX. For my card it doesn't seem to be required anyway. Back to happy computing. YAY. It sure would be nice to not burn hours to days fixing things on every ubuntu upgrade though. -- [maverick] Non-mirrored dual-screen gives narrow display on secondary monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/619663 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is a direct subscriber. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Except now it won't give be back my full desktop effects where in the fresh install it gave them to me without the proprietary driver. WTF? So I get a choice between two monitors and good graphics.

The xorg-edgers stuff does not work for me. Dell Desktop upgraded from 10.04, 64 bit. Radeon 4870 graphics. My dual 1920x1080 monitors worked fine in non-mirrored mode before the upgrade. Not since. The edgers stuff did nothing. It appears to me as if the Preference-Monitors tool never gets around to changing any config files. Perhaps I could get up again if someone could just tell me how those config files should look? Or is it much deeper than that? -- [maverick] Non-mirrored dual-screen gives narrow display on secondary monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/619663 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is a direct subscriber. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
