Re: Catalyst 8.02 + AIGLX + Compiz = Great!!

I'm not using dual head. I haven't tried it yet with catalyst. With mesa, dual head works great as long as you plugin the external monitor before you reach the GDM screen. If you are already logged in, at least in my case, the resolutions are not detected properly for both the native and the external. I do not know how to fix that.

With the oss radeon driver you set up all display resolution/geometry stuff with xrandr now, xorg.conf can be kept very simple. Something like this (all with X running):

xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1680x1050
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024
xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of LVDS

Bye, signor_rossi.

I know. I'm saying I have not tried it yet with catalyst. I'm also saying that xrandr does not detect the resolutions properly and will whine i you try to use the proper resolution if I connect my 1080p after I logged in.
