Hello.
I recently installed 12.04 on my new desktop computer
I7 2600
Asrock Z77 Extreme6
Sapphire Radeon 7970
Now at first I installed the Ubuntu-provided drivers (pre-release).
I then got a second monitor
Dell U2412M (1920x1200)
Asus VW222S (1680x1050)
So tried enabling them both under Linux.
No joy: the shared desktop would trigger a "not enough memory" message.
I read up about it and decided to try the manual installation of 12.6 following the ATI drivers Wiki.
So then I got 12.6 but still if I share the desktop among the two monitors the following happens:
at the login screen the system appears working correctly showing the same background on both screens, login mask on the 1st, and the ubuntu logo on the second.
But as the password is entered, the configuration is reverted to single screen, and the second is disabled.
So I also tried the other multi-monitor option (single desktop per screen? something like that), but upon logging in the secondary monitor only shows a white background, like some default window background, and I can't move anything there, I can only right click.
I checked and the drivers are working, OpenGL is correctly recognized, and when the two monitors are enabled (with the strange white window thing on the secondary), the test shows the drivers are correctly loaded for both monitors.
What can I do?
