  • External Monitor on 8.01 ATI 1300 Mobility Has Wrong Res/Big Black Bar

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to setup dual monitor without Xinerama on my laptop (1400x1050 native res) and my LCD (1680x1050 native res). However, I can't seem to really get it working.

    Right now I have two monitors going, with GNOME giving me an individual desktop on each and toolbars and whatnot, but my right monitor (LCD) has the resolution: 1440x900 (reported by xwininfo) and also, about a 30px or so black bar on the left hand side (the side that is beside my LCD monitor).

    The LCD is connected to my laptops VGA port, and fglrx sees the right EDID info:

    Code:

    So, first I need to figure out how to set the proper resolution on the damn thing (XRandR shows a max of 1440x900 as well), and then second I need to figure out how to remove that ugly ass black bar, although I'm wondering if the two are related.

    Here is my Xorg.conf file:

    Code:
      GNU nano 2.0.6                                       File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    I'm on xorgserver 1.3, Fedora 8, fglrx 8.01.
