Comments on: Configure Dual Head with ATI in Ubuntu 9.04 http://blog.staale.org/2009/04/configure-dual-head-with-ati-in-ubuntu-904.html Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 01 Jul 2010 09:54:19 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Doc http://blog.staale.org/2009/04/configure-dual-head-with-ati-in-ubuntu-904.html/comment-page-1#comment-126 Doc Mon, 22 Jun 2009 18:47:28 +0000 http://blog.staale.org/?p=99#comment-126 I suspect your answer to Noah is spot on (and Noah, thanks for the pointer). After installing 9.04, my dual head boots into clone (mirror), but a visit to System-->Preferences-->Display gave me the control and the outcome I needed. I'm running a low-end graphics card based on the Radeon X1300 set, BTW. And I'm still waiting for the ATI hardware driver...

I cannot get them to display at seperate resolutions and i am not linux savvy enough to edit the xorg.conf on my own. I am running kubuntu 9.04 so there shouldn't be a big difference. I was wondering if you would email me and let me know what you need to help get them to display at seperate resolutions like windows would do as a extended desktop, I am wanting the lcd screen to be the extended desktop. I was able to get this set with mandriva with aticccle, but my display server stopped working after an update :\ and I have resorted to returning to kubuntu as it is easier to use and ubuntu normally continues to be stable after updating for me.

Considerably better than Intel's randr tutorial. Got it working first time on Ubuntu 9.04 with ati radeon x300 (vga + dvi). Thank you – much appreciated.

Maybe it was because the ATI card just defaults to clone unless otherwise instructed. No, I only ever saw one display show up there, so I couldn’t configure the 2nd monitor.

Just wondering did this work on your system?

You are a genius. I was bumping my head against this problem for a day and a half and was unable to find a solution until I read this. I looked all over the Ubuntu docs but didn't think to look at Debian. It fixed the problem on Kubuntu. Thank you so much! You are a genius.
