I have an ATI HD4550 with a DVI, VGA and HDMI output. The documentation says HDMI + DVI works together, so thats what i'm trying to do with my two dell 24" monitors. (an HDMI to DVI apdater is used)
Ok, i got the fglrx driver 9.4 from amd's site and did an aticonfig --initial=dual-head.
That gives me a config where there are two different screens. I try the big desktop which tells me that RandR 1.2 is enabled so it wont work.
AMDCCCLE cant seem to do anything, and twinview is greyed out.
brendan@brendan-pc:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4550
OpenGL version string: 2.1.8591
my current slightly modified Xorg conf, which gives me mirrored screens, i am completely lost.
Please can anyone help me?
I've tried with VGA and DVI and the results are the same, THe problem seems to be that both monitors are seen as the same, so when i manage to tell them not to clone each other they do anyways cause they are the same monitors.
The displays applet in gnome sees a green and blue monitor, but when i tell it to identify screens it shows a blue thing on both monitors.
Thanks.
