The drivers are detecting an LVDS panel with 640x480 resolution, which I suspect is the source of your problems. Does it help if you disable the LVDS/Laptop display or deselect 'Mirror displays' in the GNOME display settings? If not, and if you don't ever need the LVDS display, video=LVDS-1:d on the kernel commandline might help. > [ 596.217] (II) RADEON(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR > disabled > message. > [ 596.217] (--) RandR disabled As you can see, RandR 1.2 is enabled, the second message is an artifact of how RandR 1.2 support is initialized in the X server. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
