Hello All,
I am trying to run 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope with 2 monitors in xinerama and my embedded 790GX IGP. I am running a phenom 2 955 and trying to get the embedded graphics working.
I installed the latest catalyst drivers from ATI's website. When I boot up, it appears normal.
My left/primary monitor (with toolbars) works great. When I move a window to the secondary/right monitor, I can't move the window all the way to the right.
When I maximize a window on the left/primary display, everything works as expected.
When I maximize a window on the right/secondary display, it maximizes, but the window is shifted to the left by about 400 pixels or so. I see desktop to the right in the monitor and the window overlaps into the left by the same number of pixels.
Here's what I did:
I noticed the bug above, so I tried downloading the latest drivers from AMD's website and noticed the exact same behavior. I also tried installing a Radeon 3450 graphics card in the PCIe slot and had the same result.
On Windows, dual monitors works (as does hybrid crossfire), so I know it's not the hardware.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here's what I did:
- fresh install of Jaunty 64
- update everything
- enable proprietary AMD driver from Driver Manager in Ubuntu
- display bug

- Is there a name for this bug? I'm having a hard time researching it as I don't know how to describe it. Surely I'm not the first person to experience this and there's got to be a term I can google to find advice.
- Does the 790GX work in Jaunty 64-bit for anyone? If so, did you do anything special to get it working?
- Has anyone gotten a Radeon 3xxx card working in Jaunty 64? If so, did you do anything special to get it working?
- Has anyone gotten any Radeon card working in Jaunty 64? If so, did you do anything special to get it working?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
