Weird troubles with system resolution [ati card]

Hi all !

First post here because I'm coming from the french arch community wink

Straight to the point: I have a new toshiba laptop with ati hd 3650 graphic card running with proprietary drivers. Everything worked fine (Direct rendering ok) until I decided to configure dual screen with aticonfig.

I tried but it didn't work as expected so I decided to go back to my previous Xorg conf. But now I have a kind of weird behaviour. When X starts, it seems to settle as if it was still running dual screen configuration. My mouse cursor is on the right side (desktop center) and when I log on, kde shows wide desktops. Weirder is the fact that when I go to system configuration > display settings, the screen flicks and then everything went back with no wide desktop anymore... roll Another thing is when I've just logged on, blender run just fine, but once I've been to display settings, it shows horizontal black lines all around and is unusable though.

One more detail: on the display settings, I still can see the 2560x800 resolution setting on top of the list... I suspect kdm to use this one but how ? I don't have any idea sad

Here is my Xorg.conf

# Core keyboard's InputDevice section

    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
        Modes    "1280x800"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
    Mode         0666
EndSection

If anyone has any clue on what is happening to my mad X server, I'll be very gratefull smile
