Is anyone getting extended desktop to work with ANY of the ATI drivers?
I have a mobility x1400, and it's not working. I want to extend the desktop to the right (using the "Screens and Graphics" gnome applet), and play videos on my TV using the right part of the desktop.
Both open source drivers do the same thing. I reboot to get the new settings, and the screen is completely garbled.
With the fglrx driver, I managed to do it, but after I disconnected the VGA out to the TV, things started behaving strangely. I clicked the icon to start firefox, and it didn't start. Possibly it was being placed on the extended desktop, but I didn't get an item in the toolbar for it... Anyway, this sub-forum is for the open source drivers, so... Does this work? On any card? On my card with some magic settings?
