  • Display settings keep resetting

    Hi there,
    I'm running Debian Lenny, kernel 2.6.26-2 and using the fglrx driver (and tools) version 1:8-12-4.

    I'm running an LCD monitor through DVI which should be running at 1680x1050 and a full HD TV which should be running at 1980x1050 but even though i've forced these settings they revert back to incorrect settings.

    At the moment, with xinerama on or off, the following xorg.conf configures the LCD monitor (identified as screen 1) to 1980x1080 and the TV to 1280x1024.

    lspci and aticonfig --list-adapters both show 6:0:0 to be the only adapter which was the only thing i could think of that would cause an issue.

    Any ideas?
    Xorg.conf follows, thanks in advance for your thoughts and help.

    Now using this, which is a bit cleaner (stripped it out and then used aticonfig to repopulate)
    This sets up screen one properly but screen two is 1680x1050 instead of 1920x1080
