Public bug reported:
Hi. I have installed the closed source AMD Drivers, as adviced by Jockey
(Additional Drivers GUI).
As stated in the AMD Catalyst installation guide, I run (I have a dual
GPU 5970): sudo amdconfig --initial --adapter=all
Doing so generates a xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/. The xorg.conf generated by
this command configures two monitors, but I connected only one.
After that I reboot and log back in. If I move the mouse pointer on the far
right of the monitor it disappears because xorg thinks that there is another
monitor, as stated in the xorg.conf file.
If I run AMD Catalyst Control Center, it correctly finds that I have
only one monitor connected and modifies the xorg.conf accordingly. It
seems legit to me but the system hangs with a purple screen before the
login screen.
I think it's a regression because I have installed the proprietary
driver as suggested by Jockey.
Thanks.
I'll attach the two xorg.conf files.
