Riccardo Masala, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

I use 2x19" monitors both set to 1600x1200. The screen seems to have been correctly drawn (3200x1200) in the desktop chooser applet. See picture attached to better understand. The windows can be placed outside the right limit of the screen. But in both the monitors is drawn the same screen, like it was a mirrored setup. The monitor preferences window identifies each screen with a coloured rectangle on the upper left corner: it reports the same monitor, the VGA0, no matter what I do. Nor " xrandr --output VGA-0 --left-of DVI-0 " neither the various visual tools seem to help Under suggestion of one user ofubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468857 I did the following: Turn on the computer with the secondary monitor (for me the one attached to the dvi connector) unplugged. Login and THEN plug in the DVI connector. xrandr --output VGA-0 --left-of DVI-0 This actually works, but has to be repeated each time I turn on the computer, and isn't really practical. It does not work if I boot with the monitors connected and unplug before login. I'm available for whichever test you suggest. [edit] I noticed, when the secondary screen is enabled with the above trick: a general degradation of the speed, it seems scattering and terribly slow with few apps open, expecially when using the extended desktop. Videos in streaming (I tried with vlc) on the secondary screen hang and a fixed image is shown, while moving the window on the primary screen the video is correctly shown. Whenever I drag the video window on the secondary screen, it hangs, until I drag it back to the primary. Audio isn't affected. Is there a way to downgrade to a previous video driver or similar option?
