Re: Problem getting dual displays running on HD 4870

Great, this is by far the best way to install the binary driver. Otherwise (if you don't use Ubuntu packages) it's really hard to revert to the open source driver if needed ... (hard to get a clean uninstall). Good luck

Oh wait a sec, I'm not using the ATI driver with this? Should I uninstall beforehand?

Not a bad idea, but you need to be comfy doing things in the command line, as you might lose the display temporarily:

sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

Otherwise, I'd just install on top ...

Yeah I'm OK with the command line. I've broken KDE so much I've been baptized by fire with it.

Thanks for all the help, I'll likely play with it more this weekend. Here's hoping!
