I installed http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11689116/xserver-xorg-video- ati_6.7.197%2Bgit20080201.bcd59010-0ubuntu0tormod%7Egutsy_i386.deb for testing and the situation is at least "changed"
My internal display is 1024x768. This has never been a problem. The external display is a TFT with 1680x1050 native resolution, working fine with the feisty driver. After installing above package and restarting X, I get a 1024x768 clone display. "System - Preference - Screen resolution" still does not show anything else, but I am told this applet is still a work in progress, some might even say outright broken (did work fine for me with the feisty driver!). xrandr does seem capable of making this into a dual-head setup, though. Albeit with 1280x1024 for the external display as max (see attached log). ** Attachment added: "output of "xrandr -q"" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11694440/xrandr-q.txt ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Ubuntu 7.10 won't use full capability of my ATI graphics card, only get 800x600 now, 6.06 allowed higher resolutions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162136 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
