** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx I'm using an ATI HD 2600 pro and find that enabling Xinerama causes X to produce a garbled display (basically looks like the the memory from boot screen at top but garbled / wrong colours, so I assume it's set the screen resolution but hasn't cleared the frame buffer). It appears the screen resolution is set on both screens, but X seems to hang shortly after. I notice the hard-disk goes for a second or so, but then then my machine completely freezes. Obviously I'm expecting both screens to work as a large desktop and the system not to crash in the process (excuse the sarcasm, it did ask me in the guidelines to state what i expect to happen =p) Ctrl Alt Backspace / AltGr SysReq / 3 finger salute doesn't seem to be acknowledged, so I get the impression this is a kernel freeze. This is damn annoying for me (as I really need 2 screens). I understand it's not totally something that is under the control of Ubuntu Developers directly, but I assume you communicate with ATI and have prodding authority when it comes to making them patch up their stinking code blob. Both my screens are the same (DVI digital) at 1600x1200. I've using a fresh install of the release candidate (as I released it's only since the beta fglrx got updated for xserver 1.6), with all updates installed. I can get independent dual screens to work (i.e. work as independent X displays, however compiz doesn't fully work here) and for both displays to mirror a screen with full acceleration (compiz is fine here). Intrepid and Gutsy seemed fine under this setup, so I really would like this to work in jaunty as well if you can squeeze this in between now and the final release. I'm not too sure what else you want from me, would a lspci -vvv be of any help? This is similar to bug #40544, however I've opened a new report as this affects Jaunty, not Dapper, and so I assume the causes / reasons for the bug are very different. Thanks for your time.
