Latest update about the situation: - I tried your suggestion and it didn't help. The image is still distorted and unreadable. The laptop was last time dist-upgraded on last Friday, so the Feisty is pretty much up to date and so this occurs even with the latest version of the open source driver.
Currently my situation is the following: - For some reason the fgrlx driver hasn't worked since Dapper on my laptop. The xorg displays a list of supported models and my Mobility Radeon 9000 LF250 appears to be missing from the list which is a bit weird since it would be unbelievable if they would just discontinue supporting chipsets that are in just three years old laptops. So the fglrx driver does not work. Then another issue is that the open source driver don't work either, so I can't output from my Linux laptop any picture for the Cinema display so far. So the display is now hooked to another laptop which has Windows running on it and on it. I have another idea what could maybe cause it. Not sure though. I could be also totally wrong. Maybe the driver does not support Dual-link DVI and the monitor requires it. I am still hoping that this would be fixed since the 24 inch display would be good for coding etc. and it should really work on LInux and it is a bit too good for just some corporate applications I rarely use (since the Windows machine exists just for that and nothing else). -- ATI Open source driver shows distorted unreadable image on Dell laptop + Apple Cinema Display 23 inch https://launchpad.net/bugs/75770 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
