First, sorry for my terrible English, I'm learning yet...

So, I updated my Ubuntu (11) for latest version (12), but my monitors stopped working correctly...

I have two monitors whose both are connected on my CPU by DVI port with 2 VGA cable (1DVI on PC to 2 ports VGA (monitors))
Before I install this OS, was working good, but now, they are only in mirror form... I can't use extensible..

I alrady did what you put here about the drivers, but the problem remains...

Some util information:

Some try and errors which I had:

in "All Settings" > "Displays":

When I remove the Mirror displays' option, the errors occurs:

fist one:

The selected configuration for displays could not be applied
required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2560, 1024), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600)

And when I clik on close button, other one:

Failed to apply configuration:%s
GDBus.Errorrg.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._gnome_2drr_2der ror_2dquark.Code3: required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2560, 1024), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600)

No matter if I change the "Resolution" options in any monitors configurations...

When I selected the "Additional Drivers", is showed 2 options to be activated:

ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver (post-release updates)
ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver

The second ok, but when I active the first one, reboot my OS, a error occours:

Sorry, installation of this driver failed.
Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log

And in the file jockey.log:

Does anyone know what might be going wrong?

thanks!

Hi folks!
I found the answer!

In my case, there was a thing that passed me by unnoticed!
So, the displayer configuration shouldn't be by "System Settings >All Settings > Displays", but by "AMD Catalyst Control Center (Administrative)".

When you active the "ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics drive" (it's no necessary (and in my case, impossible) active the "post release update" version) this software will be installed!

So, all that you need to do is configure the displays as well other options which you wish.
