Monitor problems

Hi,

I have some problems with my monitor settings. I have a Fujitsu-Siemens laptop with an external LCD monitor and an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics card.

The problem is that when i start xorg (version 6.8.2) my external monitor gets no input signal. It gets signal before x starts. This problem occured after I installed the ATI drivers...

I have two questions:

1. How can I get my external monitor to work with xorg?

2. Is it possible to stretch the desktop to both monitors?

 

Regards,

Mr Whisp

Before you start X another module (driver) is being used to place output on the screen. After you start X the ati driver is used. You need to configure the /etc/xorg/xorg.conf file to get 2 monitors working (or run fglrxconfig and choose for big desktop)
