Multiple monitors with ATI/AMD Linux drivers 8.40.4
Dear Debian users,
I'm trying to get working my VGA chip (ATI Technologies Inc ATI Radeon
XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)) the following configuration:
- this laptop has an LCD screen with a recommended resolution of
1280x800 @ 60 Hz
- this machine has a D-SUB connector for CRT monitor devices, I've
attached there a CRT monitor (LG Flatron EZ T710P), I want
a resolution of 1024x768 @ 85 Hz
I own a manually compiled kernel (2.6.22.2) and ATI/AMD "fglrx" 8.40.4
(installed from .deb packages generated with ati's
installer. The VGA/OpenGL works generally good.)
In the ATI Linux Control Center my external CRT monitor is discovered
and powered on, but I can't seperately set their own
resolution and refresh rates. Sometimes I can (after pressing apply the
CRT goes to 1024x768@85), but I assume configuration
is not saved because after rebooting, I get a resolution of 1280x800 on
the CRT. I have to "move" the screen with the mouse
cursor.
My questions:
- Is it possible to set a custom resolution for the LCD and for the CRT
device?
Do I have to do this in xorg.conf ?
- Is it a bug of the fglrx driver? Should I install another version?
Thanks a lot!
