Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.17

i had reported a support request
(https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ticket/3248) and was told that
this was the place to post my request

using edgy, i get video issues with the -generic kernel with dual-head
support.. ordinarily i wouldn't necessarily think it was the kernel
change; however, when i installed the fglrx driver it specifically said
that i should make sure to have the correct kernel for my hardware.. and
in dapper, on k7 kernel, it works perfectly.. what happens is, on the
second monitor, the lower portion of the video gets cut off.. in any
movie player, mplayer, totem, anything.. i believe that the kernel is
the reason as nothing else i have tried other than going back to dapper
k7 has worked to fix it.. i don't really see why the k7 kernel was
discontinued in ubuntu anyway.. i had previously had this problem in
dapper, until i changed to the k7 kernel from the default..

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu)
