    13.04 x64 flickering screen with AMD hybrid @ Dual Screen

    I got a issue with 13.04 x64 when using AMD latest proprietary drivers and using extended desktop.

    The problem:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NioF...ature=youtu.be

    The error occurs when i try to use extended desktop with AMD gpu selected, the monitor and notebook has differents resolutions (1920x1080 @ monitor / 1366x768 @ notebook screen)
    No error when select the Intel @ Catalyst Control Center neither when i set to mirror displays or turn off the notebook screen.

    Here some useful info:

    Code:
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Whistler [Radeon HD 6600M/6700M/7600M Series]
    Code:
    $ fglrxinfo 
    display: :0.0  screen: 0
    OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
    OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon 6600M and 6700M Series
    OpenGL version string: 4.3.12438 Compatibility Profile Context 13.20.5
    Anything i can try to fix this? Ive just broked / reinstalled the system several times trying to figure out what is causing this, ive seen some similar users with same errors, but no solution at all.

    Thanks in advance!

    Re: 13.04 x64 flickering screen with AMD hybrid @ Dual Screen

    Found a FIX, but i dont know how to turn it to set automatically.

    To fix just type: " xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --left-of LVDS1 --output VGA1 --auto --scale 1.0001x1.0001 "


    use HDMI1 if HDMI
    after that command you can adjust the screen @ Displays , no more flickering.

    any clue how to turn this command automatic when i plug another display, since i miss these configs when i restart the ubuntu.

    Thanks!
