Hi all,
My first post so I'm sorry in advance for any mistakes I make. I have been playing with Kubuntu and Ubuntu for a bit and unfortunately I'm only slowly clawing my way up this learning curve. I was finally able to actually semi-successfully install a ATI driver from the ATI website. I say semi-successfully because I have it working but I can't make any adjustments to my screens. I am forced to have my dual monitors on clone only.

So here it is, when I open the ATI Catalyst Control Center and click on the Display Manager I can see the "Properties" and "Multi-Display" tabs. The "Multi-Display" tab is normally where I can select the Big Display or whatever. Unfortunately after installing this my "Display Configuration" pull down only says "Unknown". I can't change anything and I'm really lost as to how to begin to troubleshoot this.

I would really appreciate any suggestions. I thought I read in some place that it was controlled by a file but I really have no idea. Thanks for any help you can give to a nub's first post.

Regards,
Ceza

Same problem in Jaunty Stable. Also in the Display Settings "under systemsettings" when I click "identify outputs" BOTH monitors list themselves as "DFP2 and CRT1". AS if they are both overlapped. The image on the right side (outlining the displays) is overlapped as well.

Using ATI HD3200
