I am having difficulties configuring a multi-monitor setup on Intrepid using the out-of-the-box (or off-the-mirror) proprietary ATI drivers. I am running two monitors, one at 2560x1600, and a secondary at 1680x1050. The secondary monitor is rotated 90 degrees clockwise relative to the user. The graphics card is an ATI HD4850. I currently have the monitors setup to use BigDesktop. This works as I would like (with window dragging between screens, and support for separate panels for each screen), but does not seem to allow for rotation of the secondary screen.
Is there a way to support such a setup, and if so, how?
I'm a very visual person, so I made this image to summarize the problem. (Made with the wonderful open source Inkscape)Image
I made that diagram a while ago, and it is not up to date. I've switched back to 8.04, and am now running fglrx 9.1.
Current xorg.conf:
I have never really learned how to get xorg.conf properly configured. I figured this was a question for the gurus of Phoronix, guessing that although the Ubuntu Forums failed to yield an answer someone here might know a way to get things working. Have any ideas?
Thank you for any assistance you can give.
