Public bug reported:
Today after installing the fglrx drivers on my Radeon 6950 cayman card,
in the "Displays" options, in order to get dual monitors to work I had
to first go into amdcccle and enable it there, restart the computer, and
THEN enable it in the displays setting. Also, both monitors are showing
up as "laptop". When using the radeon drivers each monitor is picked up
as "Acer blah blah", but with the propriatary drivers they both say
"laptop" and there is no visual color difference to indicate differences
between the two.
It would be nice if we could Unify the "displays" menu to where it will
enable dual monitors in amdccle when that option is selected or visa
versa.
It would also be nice to see the two monitors registering as their
proper names and differentiation.
