Cannot disable randr in Ubuntu Maverick

[Not so pretty now]

Aaaah... Ok, ok, sorry, I didn't get it!

Well, now I think your best bet to "solve" your problem is to run your Ubuntu in runlevel 3 (console mode, NOT recovery mode), remove the amdpcsdb file by typing "sudo rm -rf /etc/ati/amdpcsdb", (you can see how to do it here), and do a "sudo aticonfig --initial", to generate a "clean" xorg.conf file...

If you want to try it, it's up to you now...
From now on, I can't help you anymore... I don't have no more ideas...

Cheers

This did not help.

But ubuntu/debian use the same runlevel settings from 2 to 5. You have to stop gdm or kdm directly.

Thanks for the tip Kano...
I didn't know about it... (I don't use debian/ubuntu for some years... )

Cheers

p.s. The arch wiki link I posted has the same tip as that you've posted...

My last try to help you...

You still didn't get it -- all randr stuff was added by me and commented out because none of it had no effect.

Catalyst, from what I've seen (Via's driver did similar to me) does not respect each and every entry in xorg.conf

Yep, looking at what you've got there it seems Catalyst is forcing RandR in-driver...
That's really an odd thing... normally, fglrx auto-generates a RandR config only if you've booted your computer with a secondary monitor plugged...
But I still think your xorg.conf seems to not be OK... It has the RandR-disable lines commented, which shouldn't happen, btw...
Otherwise, try like I said: do a "sudo aticonfig --initial" and restart Xorg (your RandR configured file will be auto-saved by the aticonfig command ).

Read my first post, they were commented out for a reason:

[    16.124] (**) Option "RandR" "off"
[    16.391] (II) fglrx(0): RandR 1.2 support is enabled!
[    16.391] (II) fglrx(0): RandR 1.2 rotation support is enabled!
[    16.628] (WW) fglrx(0): Option "EnableRandR12" is not used
[    16.628] (II) fglrx(0): Disabling in-server RandR and enabling in-driver RandR 1.2.

[evolution]

You seem to have all Randr / Multi-Monitor related lines commented... Try to uncomment them... Then restart your Xorg server.
If there's a problem and you can't get your monitor(s) to work remove your xorg.conf file and do a "aticonfig --initial" (in another words, "reset" your xorg.conf file)... (both operations using sudo, OC )

Cheers
