Hello Folks,
I'm new at configuring Linux so please have some patience with me. I'm trying to set up a dual head display with one desktop stretched out on both screens. I have an ATI X800 and due to recommendations from this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver I'm trying to achieve this with the open source ati driver and xrandr.
It's actually sort of working, I do have the desktop stretched out over both screens and I can drag windows from one screen to another. The thing is that on the right side of the right screen these is a wide stripe, that doesn't show the desktop backgroud, but rather some kind of "shadows" of the windows being dragged over it. Can anyone please help me a bit?
Here is my xorg.conf
The output of xrandr -q:
And what I did to switch the dual screen desktop on was:
Thanks
Cruz
