the situation
i've got a aticard in my host. lspci shows:
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R520 [Radeon X1800]
05:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc R520 [Radeon X1800] (Secondary)
i've installed the prop-drivers fglrx
first i started with a single monitor using compiz, this worked quite well
it what not that easy to find a working way to get a big desktop with compiz to run, the 'bigdesktop'-feature was the answer
now i have a goodlooking desktop with wobbly windows, the nice cube, window-decoration ...
BUT THERE REMAINS TWO BIG PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!
- EVERYTIME I TRY TO MAXIMIZE A WINDOW THE WINDOWMANAGER CRASHES!
And there are some other problems to
- When the server crashes because of one of the upper problems and restarts to login the BigDesktop-Extension doesn't work. When i login i see two cloned screens, but on the login-screen i can move the mouse over to the second screen.
While starting normally the login is exactly in the middle of both screen, cutted in two peaces ... not when i restart it.
