I'm having trouble with a second monitor in a fresh installation of 12.04LTS. I'm on a desktop with an ATI Radeon 7500 and I have two identical LG monitors that each support 1920x1080. The second monitor is connected with HDMI and seems to work fine at resolutions less than 1920x1080. The DVI monitor is working correctly at 1920x1080. I've been trying to follow various posts on these forums, installing fglrx and the updated version as well. I've also set the resolution for both monitors in the Catalyst Control Center as well as in the Ubuntu Displays setting, and everything is set to 1920x1080. Am I missing a modeline or something? Can anyone tell me why the monitor works for everything except this resolution? I'm pretty stuck at this point. Thanks so much in advance for any advice at all.
Perhaps I have installed the drivers incorrectly, or in the wrong order?
Additionally, fglrxinfo yields the following:
display: :0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon HD 7500 Series
OpenGL version string: 4.2.11627 Compatibility Profile Context

Any advice at all is greatly appreciated, pretty stumped on this one.
