    ATI Catalyst Control not retaining settings

    Hardware
    HP 8510P
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600

    Natty Narwhal with Catalyst Control Center for the ATI Radeon and FireGL graphics accelerators is installed.

    Version-- 2:8.840-0ubuntu4 (fglrx-amdcccle)

    Launching and configuring dual monitor support that connects and expands my Desktop/Workspace when my laptop is docked works fine. However, it does not want to retain the settings after a restart and I am forced to set it each time. Ideas?

    Have you tried running it as root?

    When you launch the ATI Catalyst Control Center (Administrative) it prompts for su credentials. So yes and no. I am not running as root but I am giving it the credentials to make system changes. The changes take effect but are not saved upon system restart.

    Same here, multi-head setup. Has anyone found a related bug report?
