Second monitor not detected

[ConceitedCode]

I just added a Radeon HD 6570 video card to my desktop computer. It is running 11.04 64bit. I have 2 monitors that I am trying to use, but it can only detect the monitor plugged into the vga port. Both monitors are vga and I am using a dvi to vga adapter that I know works. I installed the fglrx driver. No matter what I try the monitor in the dvi port using the adapter is not detected. Any ideas?

Please try this:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
sudo aticonfig --initial
sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left

If this does not work let me know, after this restart X by pressing Ctrl + Alt +Backspace.

Also, please post the output of:

fglrxinfo

I tried `sudo aticonfig --initial` and got this

Uninitialised file found, configuring.

The output of fglrxinfo is

Did you install the drivers via Hardware Drivers in Ubuntu or did you install manually?

Also try running the second part of the aticonfig command anyway, the one I sent last time below

sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left

and then also this:

sudo aticonfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --tls=1

[ConceitedCode]

I used Hardware Drivers.

the second command show this.

The last command you told me to try prints this.

Okay, interesting, we are already using that file anyway it seems.
Perhaps, we should install the drivers manually if you have the time.
Please visit this site and download the file here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...2&lang=English

Remove the current installation of drivers from Hardware Drivers and restart. You will not have graphic drivers install during this time.

Ensure that no others are installed before you restart by running:

sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-radeon

It is likely these will not exist here anyhow.

To install the drivers manually, once downloaded, you can follow this guide here, ask me if you need anything.

Also, once those are installed, attempt this:

 sudo aticonfig --initial -f

sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-str="DDX,EnableRandR12,FALSE"
