Cannot select correct monitor resolution

Asked by Jake Fearnside

When Ubuntu was first installed i could select 1920*1080 as a resolution correctly, along with my other smaller monitor. But since I installed a proprietary FGLRX driver for my HD4890 everytime i select the correct resolution i get this error message. "The selected configuration could not be applied" requested position/size for CRTC 148 is outside the allowed limit: position=(1024, 0), size=(1920, 1080), maximum=(1920, 1920)

Total newb when it comes to Ubuntu but i understand drivers and whatnot, any help at all is much appreciated

Thanks

Try here. The search engine there seems persnickety, but it's the guitar in the room. {wink}
