GKSU cant´t config ATI Radeon 9600 Xinerma

Asked by Nio

Hi,
sorry for bad English, I´m from Germany;-)

My Problem: I want to config my Graphic Card, the ATI Radeon 9600 Series for Xinerma. But I can´t, the second screen is greyd out. I´m only able to use the screen as main screen, but that don´t makes a difference.

Maybe it would be better to use SAX2 from Open SuSE?

bye; Nicolas T.

There isn´t any difference between the open source and the official driver.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

Hi;

Yes; this is reproducible with 7.10 and 8.04.

I have installed the fglrx-driver
In 8.04 I first started displayconfig-gtk via sudo. After that I had choosen the second screen in the list and tryed to set him as second Screen (on the screenshot: "Zweitbildschirm", I dont know how this is called in the english version), but the text and the Point in front of it was gray.

The newer tool from 8.04, gnome-display-prperties sadly can´t detect, that I have 2 Screens.

And I have 1 Digital Screen; The Samsung SyncMaster 931BF via DVI (1280x1024) and 1 analog 17^ Screen. (1024x768)

the issue is rather an user questions about the tools and driver to use than a GNOME bug

Dear Nio,

My friend had this problem and it was solved by upgrading to 9.04.

Many blessings.
