Hello forum,
i have a thinkpad t500 with an integrated ati 3650 which is connected via a dvi from the docking station.
The setup worked fine with ubuntu. I now installed archlinux and tried the open source radeon driver with kde. I get a very strange mixed up output. When I start kde via startx (xinit script) the resolution is cut down to 1024x768. So I try to change this via kde - system settings to the native resolution of my DVI Display. The output looks like this:
Tinyurl: http://yfrog.com/j31003256aj
or directly:http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/161/1003256a.jpg
So the Display actually uses the higher resolution, but KDE does not seem to adopt it correctly?
How can I fix this?
A problem might be that the internal lcd of my notebook has a native resolution of 1680x1050. I would like to use this when I am not using the docking station (no dual head needed though, only one display is active at a time).
My xorg.conf is very small:

Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
Option "AutoEnableDevices" "false"
EndSection
#keyboard settings
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
