Amd proprietary drivers settings wont save
I'm trying to set up a multi monitor setup
The bastard did save my antialiasing setting (On unless application specifies, default is off unless application specifies)
But its not saving my multi-display settings, if i try to run the administrative catalyst control center console as the shortcut does
amdxdg-su -c amdcccle
amdxdg-su: no graphical method available for invoking 'amdcccle' as 'root'
what can i do?
also just running amdcccle as root (after doing su) wont work, if you thought of that.

Re: Amd proprietary drivers settings wont save
Found somewhat of a workaround, not perfect but it partially works.
if i run amdcccle as su and change the multi-display settings, then go into my window manager's display settings and save them (to make xrandr save settings) it'll work
But after doing it a few times my driveres broke and eventually messing with the options in xorg.conf led to kernel panics and whatnot (how can a X11 config file lead to kernel panics upon reboot/shutdown when X isn't even running ?!).
Which i fixed with this workaround.
aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all
aticonfig --px-igpu
aticonfig --xinerama=on
which pretty much made my dual screen display work, with the exception that i can't have my secondary monitor on the left side either because i'm so noob or because xfce wont allow it... or because X simply likes to align everything to the screen on the left. not sure.
Seeing as my second screen is a CRT tv... i can't really live with having my panel and desktop shortcuts on it 
Edit: Later on i realized its a better idea to just use xrandr instead of xinerama.
