Hey everyone, it's me again, back to my old tricks with Linux. I can't help it, I just love it too much.
Anyway, my new problem is with my main computer. I wanted to get it running Kubuntu as a side OS for when I go on my web coding binges (it's been known to happen a LOT.). Well all was going swimmingly, it installed smoothly, booted fine, I installed the proprietary drivers for my HD 4870, and went to configure the dual display setup I used.
Now beforehand I had done this on an older machine with an nVidia GeForce 6800 GTS with no issues at all, it went quite quick actually. However this time around the configuration is completely missing. I have no multi-monitor settings in Catalyst, nor in the KDE displays dialog. All I can do is run cloned display.
Displays:
Samsung SyncMaster 22", 1680 X 1050
HP w1907 19", 1440 X 900.
Specs:
3.2 GHz Pentium D
8 GB DDR2 Memory
2 320 GB SATA Western Digital HDDs
ATI Radeon 1GB HD 4870 Graphics Card
Vista Ultimate x64
I'm running Kubuntu 9.04, with version 8.62 of the driver and Catalyst, downloaded and installed directly off of ATI's website.
Also, just for fun, my screen-configurations.xml file, since I figure it might be relevant:
Hope you guys can help me out here, aside from the clone display problem, KDE 4 runs beautifully on here.
Thanks!
